• Counting

Make a set of cards numbered from 1-9. Have the child place the correct number of school counters on each card. Use the words most and fewest. Ask, “Which card has the most school counters? Which has the fewest school counters?”

• Sorting by Color and Type

Sort the school counters into color sets. For a young child, limit the number of counters to be sorted. Gradually increase the number as he/she becomes more confident. Have the child compare sets. For example, the child sorts 5 red school counters and 3 blue counters. Use the words more and fewer to describe the sets. Repeat this activity using the type of school counter, instead of color.

• Sequencing

Select 4 red school counters and 4 blue school counters. Arrange the school counters in a pattern for the child to copy. For example, red school counter, blue school counter, red school counter, blue school counter, etc. Have the child copy your pattern. Take turns and let the child arrange his or her school counters in a pattern for you to copy. As the child becomes more confident, add a third and fourth color to the sequence. Repeat this activity using types of school counters instead of colors.
