"Fruity Bunches With Ones and Tens: A Visual Counting Learning Center" supports addition and mental math skills by inviting students to count bunches of berries and match them with the correct number.

First, students complete the practice worksheet. They draw a line between each number and each bunch of berries. For example, they draw a line between 14 and a bunch of red berries, representing 10 and 4 extra berries grouped together. Then, they complete the 10 number cards.

Students have to:

* Trace the number

* Place the correct number of pom-pom balls in the cup space

* Place the correct magnetic numbers to represent the tens and ones places

* Find the correct tens and ones cards that feature bunches of berries that represent the number on the card

This learning center includes all the paper-based materials that need to be copied, like the number cards, tens and ones cards, the practice worksheet, and an example page to help students get started. It also clearly shows which objects are needed, like clear plastic cups, magnetic numbers, and small pom-pom balls or beads. Optional items, like mini tongs and magnets, are featured. Teacher and student directions are also included so you can set up the learning center and students can get started independently.
