Counting Bubble Gum Machines

How to make:

•

If you choose to print this document in black and white, color in all the Bubble Gum Machines.

•

I printed my documents on card stock so they will last longer. I also prefer to laminate each page.

•

Cut out all the pieces or keep as whole if you want to use each page as a poster.

You can use these Bubble Gum Machines in a few ways.

•

You can use them as posters in your child’s room, schoolroom or playroom.

•

You can also use it as a memory matching game – you need to print out each page twice.

Simply lay down all the cards face down. Have your child turn over (one at a time) two cards each time. If they find a pair, set them aside. If

not, turn the cards over again and pick another two cards. Your child must try to find the pairs of each number. To improve recognition of

the Arabic numbers, tell your child which number has been turned over each time and help them count out the balls of Bubble gum.

You can use it as a counting tool. Place the Bubble Gum Machines in front of your child, on the floor or on a table. Give your child counters

– beans, buttons, toys – and have your child place the number of counters that match the amount of Bubble Gum in the machines.
