Cupcake Counting Activity

How to Use Our Cupcake Counting Activity

Use this resource in your数学中心, as a small group activity, or a whole class exercise (see below) to practice using one-to-one correspondence to count a set of objects.

To play, shuffle the cards and lay them face down in a pile in the center of the playing area. Students will take turns flipping over the top card and identifying the number. Then, they will place a matching number of counters on top of a cupcake. Students will continue flipping over cards until they have covered every cupcake.

Scaffolding + Extension Tips

学生已经理解了浓缩的挑战ept to choose a card and provide a number that is greater than or less than (directed by the teacher) than the number.

Support students who need help understanding the concept with a tens frame mat with the numbers written inside each box. Students will place the corresponding number in the tens frame first, then move them over to the cupcake.

或多或少（战风格的纸牌游戏）

将这些卡变成或多或少的游戏很容易！洗牌数字，并在玩家之间平等地传递。让学生将卡片放在面前的一堆面孔中。让学生在游戏之前决定他们是寻找最大的数字还是最小数字。学生将甲板上的顶部卡翻转，而获胜的球员则赢得了卡片。最终拥有所有卡的学生获胜。

画出来！热身/退出游戏

This activity can also be used as a formative assessment. Project a number card and have students draw their own set of objects that represent the digit shown.

Show Me!

Give each student a mini dry-erase board and a dry-erase marker. Project two number cards and have students write a comparative statement for the two numbers on their whiteboards, e.g. 9 is more than 3 or 9>3. When everyone has written down their answers, say, “Show Me.” Students will flip their boards, allowing you to see who needs extra support with this skill.
