Seq encing

Select 4 red Bears and 4 blue Bears.

Arrange the Bears in a pattern for the

child to copy. For example, red Bear,

red Bear, blue Bear, blue Bear, red Bear,

red Bear, etc. Have the child copy your

pattern. Take turns, and let the child

arrange his or her Bears in a pattern for

you to copy. As the child becomes

more confident, add a third and fourth

color to the sequence. Repeat this

activity using size instead of color.

N mber Stories

Three Bear Family®Counters are

perfect for early story problems

because children easily identify with

them. Story problems about the Bear

counters should focus on realistic

activities. For example: 5 Bears were

playing outside. Two ran inside for a

snack. How many Bears were left

outside?

Zero Bears

Zero can be a difficult concept for

young children to learn. Draw 2

circles on a piece of paper. Have the

child put several Bears in one circle.

Leave the other circle empty. Say, "Here

are 2 sets. One has 3 Bears. The other

set is empty; we say it has zero Bears."

Point to the set with zero Bears.

Activities foc s on

these n mber concepts

Sorting by Color and Size

Sort the Bears into color sets. For a

young child, limit the number of

counters to be sorted. Gradually

increase the number as he/she

becomes more confident. Have the

child compare sets. For example,

the child sorts 5 red Bears and 3 blue

Bears. Use the words more and

fewer to describe the sets. Repeat this

activity using size instead of color.

A Color Parade

Have children sort the Bears by color

into lines, and have a color parade.

Be sure to use the words first, second,

third, etc., and the words next and last.

Co nting

Make a set of cards numbered from

1-9. Have the child place the correct

number of Bears on each card. Use the

words most and fewest. Ask, “ hich

card has the most Bears? hich has the

fewest Bears?”

Zoo Bears

For this activity you will need 5

paper cups. Place a numeral from 1-5

on the bottom of each cup. The child

puts the correct number of Bears into

each "cage." You may also wish to put a

patch of color on the bottom of each

cup so that the child is counting and

sorting by color.

Co nting Game

Three people can play this game. Place

all the Bears in the center of a table.

Players take turns rolling the die and

gathering the corresponding number of

Bears from the center. Play until all the

counters are gone from the center. The

winner is the one with the most Bears

at the end of play.

Estimating

Ask the child, "How many Bears do you

think you can hold in one hand?"

Record the answer. Then see how many

the child can actually hold in one

hand. Compare the numbers. Use the

words more and few. Repeat this game

using two hands.

Vis al Memory

For a visual memory exercise,

make a line with 4 different colored

Bears. Have the child study the Bears

for a few moments. hile the child's

eyes are closed, remove only one of the

Bears, leaving the others in place. Ask

the child to open his/her eyes and tell

you which Bear is missing.
