Now, we’re practicing counting for money (nickels, dimes, quarters) using a ball.
Just throw it in a circle and count whatever it is you’re practicing. Here we’re counting quarters. The kids much prefer to count pennies.
As a side note, this ball is actually from when I was teaching. You’re supposed to solve the math problem that is closest to your right thumb. Good for practicing left and right, and hand eye coordination as you’re throwing it around. My second graders loved it.
I’ve got similar ones for elements of story. Those ask all sorts of reading questions. I need to get them out for my kids.
