| First of all....I love Base 10 Blocks. They are so useful for teaching children children love all the different games you can play with them. However, they are kind of expensive so they may not be in your budget. Or you might have a kit, but not enough to go around for each child. So that's when you've got to get crafty, and these little bean counting sticks can help you stretch the learning! |
| Step 3 Start to glue your beans on your Popsicle |
| All Done Let them dry. Make enough so that you can have a set of 100 beans (10 sticks) and a few extras. This will allow you to count out to three place values. |
| Step 2 Next, get your popsicle sticks. Each stick will hold 10 beans, so make sure they fit. |
| Step 1 The first thing you want to do is get your beans ready! Choose a dark color bean for easy counting. |
