Use the Hug-a-Bug cards from your Math Kit to play this exciting number warm up.

  • each student has a bug card and a set of counters
  • write a number from 1-6 on your teacher bug card
  • reveal the number briefly to your students
  • close the wings to cover the number
  • have students count a set of counters to match the numeral on their bug card
  • open your bug wings and have students check their counter collection and that it correctly matches your numeral 
I hope your students are excited for math today and that this math warm up idea helps you feel supported and excited to teach. If you’d love more ideas for math and early-years learning be sure to join my newsletter so you don’t miss out!
