Whenever I go shopping, whether it is Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-mart, or Paint Stores, I always grab a handful (or two) of paint chips. I love them for just about anything. I’ve used them as flash cards, as bookmarks, as seat markers and more. This particular time I was having a kiddo who was struggling with being able to count by 5’s. We tried flash cards, songs, everything. Nothing seemed to work.
I came up with this idea after realizing he seemed to
be a kinesthetic learner. So I took paint chips and a
sharpie and wrote down the numbers by 5. When I
was done I placed them on the ground. We jumped
down the hall and sang out each one. This seemed to
work. Within a week he had them memorized and we
were on our way to harder math concepts.
I hope
you try this bright idea in your own classroom.
