1 to 1 correspondence

Submitted by Admin (11-10-2012)

« Back to Maths Teaching Ideas

Materials:
- 10 egg cartons (enough for children to work in Pairs) These can be purchased from art suppliers to avoid issues with allergies.
- 10 plastic tweezers
- a range of beads

What to do:
1) Label each place in the egg carton from 1-12, I did this by printing out numbers on coloured sheets, laminating and then sticking them on.
2)Place beads in bags, with 78 beads in each bag.

For students:
The idea of this activity is to promote 1 to 1 correspondence but at the same time it covers fine motor skills.

Students use the tweezers to take out the number of beads that are in the egg space and count them out 1 by 1.

I hope this makes sense!

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
