Provide a variety of real and found items for counting, sorting and patterning in the math center. Keys, hair barrettes, buttons or shells all help children connect to prior knowledge. Collect a variety of plastic date tabs from bread and other baked goods. Place them in a container along with some pipe cleaners. Children can count or pattern them as they string them on the stems. Ask the children to “think of other things we can count.” Include their suggestions in the math area.
