Description
- Using movable butterflies on PowerPoint slides, learners practice counting out objects given a number from 1-20. This digital activity promotes number sense and is great for in-person or distance learning. Learners drag and drop the correct number of butterflies to increase skill levels in one-to-one correspondence as well as tracking where counting starts and stops. Touching each butterfly while counting, along with a ten frame to provide visual structure, allows for additional support.
- There are 30 PowerPoint slides in this activity. Slides 1-20 include ten frames to assist students with counting. In slides 21-30 the ten frames are not included, providing a challenge for those students who are ready.
- Slides 1-10: Learners drag and drop butterflies into the 10 frames to count up to 10 butterflies
- Slides 11-20: Learners drag and drop butterflies into the 10 frames to count 11-20 butterflies
- Slides 21-30 Learners drag and drop butterflies to count 11-20 butterflies without the support of ten frames.
Ideas for Use
Use for math intervention group or math learning centers. For whole group instruction, use with interactive white boards. Slides may be used as an instructional distance learning tool by sharing the screen with students on digital platforms such as Zoom. Convert to Google slides and assign slides to students through Google Classroom for distance learning. To differentiate, limit the number of slides assigned to students and/or only choose slides targeting student needs. The slides become progressively more challenging.
Benefits of Google Slides/PowerPoint Slides
Engaging colorful pages
Limited content on each slide to promote student focus and engagement
No prep and no wasted paper
Adapt number of slides assigned based on student needs
Monitor/grade work if using in Google Classroom
Interactive: more motivating for students
Movable math manipulatives provide additional support for kinesthetic and visual learners
Common Core State Standards
Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
