Fun Maths with buttons - Prepa

Here are four ways to turn those old buttons into easy a positive learning experience!
What you need: an assortment of buttons, a bowl, construction paper and glue!
What you do:
·         Sort the buttons. Dump the buttons onto the table or floor. Point out all the pretty colours and different sizes. You can put them into separate piles. You can sort them by colour first, then by shape, and then by size. You can sort them into two: colour and size?

·         Count the buttons. Drop the buttons into a bowl while counting.


·         Button Patterns. Look for patterns, such as red, blue, red, blue… Continue the pattern! Make other challenging patterns such as three-coloured pattern!
