Slides have (1-10) Beans or Eggs on one side the children are asked to count them then predict how many Plants or Chicks will appear. They are then asked to decide if this is more or less. Slides get progressively harder mostly under 10 but some stretch the children to count to 20 near the end. Beans - 12 slides - Each slide reveals the seeds which did not grow after children count. Eggs - 13 slides This activity was designed for a Reception class who were learning about life cycles, growing beans and hatching chicks, in the spring term. (Easily adaptable to simplify or extend as needed for your students)
