contains:
1-10 bee hive with corresponding bee to count and colour on one sheet
individual sheet bee hive with corresponding bee to count and colour and trace
This worksheet consists of two pages, the latter being more challenging as it involves higher numbers.
I enlarged the sheets to A3 and began the lesson with shopping role play where pupils had to buy oversized items from me using giant money. We counted out two pence pieces and children had to pretend that they had 2ps stuck to each of their fingers to introduce this new concept.
Children worked in pairs and counted out 2ps until they had sufficient for each purchase. They then drew around the correct number in the space to the right-hand side of the item - this was the reason for having A3 sheets.
A game very similar to the 'count the bees' resource, but this time to 10. A great game to be used with the children but also for them to access in their own time.
used also with a dice, and for small addition, add one more and one less.
