So many “free” manipulatives out in our yards this season. Thank you for the fabulous ideas!

Great activity that would be engaging while incorporating math and science. This is the type of activity that opens up conversation about so many different things and can include learning on many levels through children’s innate curiosity.

I like this idea not only to use fir patterning but you can also use it to decide on how many more of one thing you need to make it even to the other or which one has more or which one has less. you can also have the children use team work. to spread out and look for different objects; rocks, leaves, acorns, pinecones, sticks. and then come back together to compare and contrast which has more, less, or the same amount.

I simply like the idea of nature walk during fall where kids could observe patterns in nature and it is really a great hands on activity for kids outside classroom

this is a great idea, i never thought of using outdoor plant life that way, I will use this activity whenever we are allowed to return to work.

I love this activity. It provide so many possibilities for young children. The collection could be use to collect data by sorting and grouping the different items. It was a great way to experience nature and explore math.

You could use this data to make a pictograph.

Understanding this activity, helps children look for similarities (comparing), count how may are the same and analyzing data. It looks like a simple activity to kids but it explores math in many ways. It also keeps them engaged!
