What to do:
- divide the
lid of the box into equal parts
(no higher than 10)
- assign numbers
to each part
- draw small
lines to represent the numbers next to the numerals
- carefully
cut slits into the small lines with an exacto knife
- place enough
popsicle sticks inside the box so that there are enough sticks for
each numeral to be represented
- encourage
children to match the right number of sticks with the right numeral
(ie. the number 5 would have five popsicle sticks stuck into the
slits beside it)
- when finished,
children should not have any sticks left
- pull all sticks
out of lid and return to inside of box for next child
