A package of pompoms, bows, erasers and other small items and you are set for MERRY MATH and hands-on learning.

Check out this Facebook Live video where I demonstrate these projects:

Sorting
Ask children to sort the pompoms. What was their sorting rule? Can they sort them another way?

Patterns
Use the pompoms for making patterns.
                   

Estimating
Have children estimate the number of each type and then verify by counting.
                                                        

Math Mat
Children place the correct amount on the trees.
                

Match Dot Cards
Pompoms are a perfect one-to-one activity for younger children.



Stampers
Materials: stamp set
Stamp a pattern, stamp out math facts, or stamp a set.


Roll of the Dice
Materials: foam dice
Roll them, count them, add them, or let children make up their own games with the dice.
