Christmas Video, What's Missing Game, One-to-One Correspondence & Center Fun

Play is the natural way in which children learn, and during play children practice their skills and make sense of new knowledge and experiences. This game was a fun way to practice counting and number recognition. I had all the children put their heads down and had one child remove a number. They had to then figure out what number was missing. I was blown away with their sharpness and how quickly they found the missing number. I even tried to trick them by mixing the number line up, but they surprised me, and figured it out each time.

One-to-one correspondence is an early math skill that involves a child's ability to count in ascending order while touching each object in a set, one by one, and only once. The children had to touch and count different colors of bows, and write the correct number. They had so much fun with this activity.
