NINE, TEN, A BIG FAT HEN - Game


Another EGG-ceptional Math Game

FUN To Read Big Fat Hen
And Play With Number Words.

Which came first the chicken or the egg?
In this case the Big Fat Hen did.  
She and her beautiful friends came 
right off the pages of this counting book.

I had to wait until spring for the eggs.

Dear Reader,
I reused plastic eggs for a DIY number game.
How can you not use eggs when
 you already have the chickens?
 
This game is FUN and EASY to make and play. 
I wrote the number on the top of the egg 
and the number word on the bottom.
I also mixed the colors. 
I used a Sharpie pen to write on the eggs.


I used a tissue and rubbing alcohol 
to "erase" any mistakes. 
Then I let the eggs rest overnight.



To play the game just "crack" the eggs 

(separate tops from bottoms)
 and scramble the eggs.  
My SunnyDaz Kids love scrambled eggs best.
Now match the number to the word.


Once all the eggs are matched it is time to record your answers.

Number your paper 1 -10.
Next to the number 1, write the word one.
Continue to 10 or 20 or more.
We write our number words on recycled paper.
Try playing this at home or school.
HAVE FUN!

HUNGRY FISH - Awesome Apps

My Favorite App for Math!
So FUN! And It Is FREE!
(for now)

This Hungry Fish is eating up number 4 bubbles.  
My SunnyDaz Kids can push bubbles together (add)
 and get a new number (sum). 
3+1=4
When the 3 bubble is pushed together with the 1 bubble it makes a new bubble 4.  
Now the fish will open his mouth and eat it.  
He then becomes bigger.
The game can be made easier or harder.

Of course I had to try it out on my new iPod Touch. 
Again And Again! 
We all love it!
You will too!
ENJOY!

TALLY STICKS - Center2Pockets

Craft Sticks Make FUN 
And Colorful Tally Marks!


My SunnyDaz Kids love to work with Tally Sticks.
It is a great Centers activity.

Tally Sticks are a FUN and EASY way 
to introduce  and practice: 
Tally Marks
Counting and
Skip Counting by 5's.
They are easy to handle and organize.
The Tally Sticks made the transition 
to recording Tally Marks easy.


I bought a package of colored craft sticks.  
They came in four colors of 
red, yellow, blue and green.
I also bought a package of 
plain wooden craft sticks.
Now I had five colors and an easy way 
for kids to make sets of five with 
Tally Sticks! 
(What else could I call them?)
    
When I used the Tally Sticks in a demonstration my SunnyDaz Kids asked 
if they could count with them.  
Kids wanting to count? 
Of course I said "YES!"
And another Center2Pockets activity was born.
I love it when they get so excited 
about a demonstration that 
they are just itching to try it.
Give Tally Sticks a try with your kids
 and watch them go!
    

Enjoy!

Here are 2 PURRRfect Books to go with 
Tally Sticks!

I CAN TALLY TO 100! - Center2Pockets


A Math Center!

This Center Is SunnyDaz Kid Approved! 
It got a thumbs up once I enlarged the 
numbers as big as can be.
(I love it when they share ideas to make it more fun.)

I Can Tally To 100!
This is a center I made for
The 100th Day of School
But my SunnyDaz Kids still play it. 

My SunnyDaz Kids like to be timed 
as they make Tally Marks in each box and 
"Race" their way to 100.
Then they practice counting by 5's 
all the way to 100!
I love the smiles :) added to the paper.

I am always making up centers and such for my SunnyDaz Kids.
This is my first attempt at posting a document.
I am hoping you can just click it, print & play.
Enjoy! 

Here are 2 PURRRfect stories for this center.
