Kindergarten Math- Counting
The Math Turkey
Students will:
- recognize numbers
- understand the amount of numbers
- match corresponding number to amount
How do you make a Math Turkey?
Turkey:
1. Get a paper plate and cut the outside trimming off, leaving a flat circle remaining
2. Paint plate brown
3. Once plate has dried completely, use a straight edge to cut 5 slits along the outside boarder of the turkey for feathers to be placed in
4. Cut colored construction paper in long oval shapes to be used as feathers
5. On each feather, write a number on the back ranging from 1-10
6. Place paper feathers in the slits in the plate
7. Use left over construction paper to give your turkey a face
Game Paper:
1. Use Microsoft Word to create a table
2. In each section of the table, have a certain number of items (ranging from 1-10)
3. Make sure you have the correct number of each item (if there are 5 feathers with the number 3 on it, make sure there are 5 sections in the table that have 3 items)
4. Laminate papers
How to Play?
Students will take turns picking a feather off the turkey. They will flip the feather over and look at the number on the back. They will look at the game paper and find the section that has the corresponding number of items. Once they find it, they will put an "X" over the box.
