Poems for Math Practice Lesson Ideas • Individual – Count all the items in the pockets. Write the total. Check the answer using a calculator. • Partner – Place several handfuls of small objects in a pile between two students. Each student uses a cup to drag some of the small objects toward them. Students count the objects. The greater number wins. Return objects and repeat. • Whole Group – Display and read with class. Assign each student a different set of classroom objects to count. Children draw write the name, number and picture of their object on a sheet of paper. As a group put the objects in order from least to greatest. Turn this number line into a book and place in classroom library. • Literature Extension – Counting Crocodiles or counting book of your choice.
