Description
Teddy bear counters have become useful tools for many parents, as well as homeschool, preschool, kindergarten and elementary school educators.
Learning counting and color association concepts can be fun and engaging if you turn the education into a game. This counting bear game is such an entertaining activity that kids won’t even realize how much they learn in the process!
With this game you will receive an activity eBook that is printable, easy to use and need little if any prep.
The counting bear game helps children recognize and associate colors. These same recognition skills conditioned with this game help children observe, associate, sort and label the characteristics of other objects in the real world around them.
The ability to identify colors is considered a milestone in a child’s cognitive development and is often part of early screening for development and educational admittance. Early identification of colors helps to create the cognitive link between visual clues and words.
Manipulatives are concrete objects that can be viewed and physically handled by kids in order to model abstract concepts. The use of manipulatives, like the counting bears provided, gives kids hands-on, active learning experience. Furthermore, utilization of manipulatives in mathematics education can support children’s understanding of numerous mathematical concepts.
Children can use the counting bars in math to address mathematical standards like:
Sorting bear counters into group by colors Count by two or any other multiple Using the colors of the bears for patterns (see e-book activities) Practice addition and much more (see e-book activities)
Hands-on educational experience helps children visualize math concepts and gain insight into necessary fundamentals of early cognitive development.
