Extend and Connect
Investigate not only the counting sequence one, two, three… but other sequences – for example, even numbers two, four, six, eight… (cars and trucks, anyone?) or Fibonacci numbers one, one, two, three, five, eight, thirteen.. (great for nature walks!) Nursery rhymes often have countdown sequences starting with “ten little…”
You can make a mobile “counting sculpture” to display your collection of iconic objects. Some numbers are easier to find and display in 3D, such as the six faces of a cube.
The hunt for iconic quantities and sequences can become addictive! Whether you go grocery shopping or travel to a galaxy far, far away in books, movies, and computer games, you will find iconic quantities hidden in vegetables, spaceships, or alien life-forms. How about creating your own fantasy island or sci-fi universe centered on your favorite number sequence?
