Counting and adding with Snacks

October 15, 2010 by 6 Comments

This simple math activity is from our Math Activity a Day calendar.    Do your kids love Welch’s Fruit snacks?  My preschoolers do!  I rarely keep any in the house and they love getting to go to their Grammy’s  where they get a bag of the treats.  As today is Friday, we decided to splurge.

Math Snack Fun:

Get a dice, roll it.  Count out the number you rolled.  Roll the dice again and add or subtract that number of snacks to/from your pile.  Do over and over again till you only have one or two snacks left in the pile.  Eat those and repeat!  So much yummy math fun!

    I think JDaniel would eat them before I could hand him the dice.

    I love math activities using food. We used to read the M & M’s Counting Book and have so much fun using real M & M’s and then eating them.

    This is a good idea. But maybe include a reward unconnected to food.
