This set of maths activity pages features the short coloured bead stair; they were designed to support children in their mastery of early quantity counting, while reinforcing familiarity with the Montessori bead stair material.
Preparation:
Print your preferred set of pages (there are 2 variations with different spellings: color / colour). Cut any pieces you need (if you're preparing the folder activity). Laminate (optional). Gather colours / wipe-clean markers that correspond with the Montessori short bead stair.
Extensions and Extra Tips:
- Depending upon a child's fine motor ability and age, it may be more suitable for them to cover instead of colour the beads; you may wish to utilise pom-poms in the short bead stair colours to support the child's one-to-one correspondence when quantity counting. Having the exact number of pom-poms required can also serve as a helpful control of error (i.e. 1 red pom-pom, 2 green pom-poms, etc.).
- If a child is miscounting, invite them to count aloud while pointing to each bead.
- Where appropriate and possible, encourage repetition for mastery and independence by placing the pages in an easy-to-access location.
- If possible, pair the pages with a box of short bead stair bars. We have a much-loved DIY set on the shelf (made with wire and pony beads).
Further Product Details:
This short bead stair activity includes 10 pages of number sense worksheets and 1 maths folder activity. It was one of the first resources I made – which means it is, sadly, only available in A4 paper format. If you wish to print this activity on US-Letter paper, please adjust your printer settings. The worksheets are as pictured in the thumbnail and include sections for tracing the numeral, counting the beads, writing the number as words, colouring the right amount of beads and circling / finding the correct quantity of fruits / vegetables.
✱ List of fruit / vegetables included: strawberry, cucumber, dragon fruit, banana, blue quandong, eggplant / aubergine, cauliflower, kiwi, blueberry, potato.
✱ Please be aware that no physical product will be sent to you in the post; this is a digital file.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out. If you would like to share the activity in action or how you've prepared the pages, I would love to see! You can leave a review with your pictures or email me on the contact page.
