Write numerals, in order, on the bottom of muffin tins and again on the inside and place them in the math center. A one-dozen tin will be numbered one to 12. Give the children a variety of manipulatives, and encourage them to count the number and place them in the different muffin tin holes. Turn the muffin tin over, cover one number with a muffin liner, and ask the children, “Which number is missing?”
