Enchanted Learning Halloween Themed Pages

October 27, 2011 by Obstacle Course Mom

If you have been following my posts for a while, you know how much I love to use materials from www.EnchantedLearning.com. Here are some examples of what they have to help build math skills using the Halloween theme. Note: This is just me, but I wanted to make the papers look a little more appealing so I trimmed them and glued them onto black construction paper before "laminating" them with clear contact paper. I did this so I could reuse them in future My Obstacle Courses as … [Read more...] about Enchanted Learning Halloween Themed Pages

Halloween Sticker Patterns

October 27, 2011 by Obstacle Course Mom

This is a super simple way to build patterning skills along with fine motor skills - Halloween themed patterning! I had some packages of Halloween themed stickers (could be any theme at any time of the year though) and got out some orange index cards. I began a pattern using the stickers (shown in the photo) and when Andrew got to the station, he looked at the pattern, found the sticker that went next, peeled it and worked to stick it on the card. Seems easy enough, right? This was … [Read more...] about Halloween Sticker Patterns

Halloween Ring Sort and Count

October 25, 2011 by Obstacle Course Mom

This is one of my favorite station activities because it was one of those moments where I realized that I could take an item, alter it a bit from it’s original intended use and create activities with it to build skills and find out what Andrew knew. I purchased a package of Halloween rings (either from Target or Michael's, cannot remember) and used my scissors to cut off the ring part. (I don’t know about you but those rings were never very comfortable and I knew that Andrew would never wear … [Read more...] about Halloween Ring Sort and Count

Autumn Themed “Make This Number”

October 11, 2011 by Obstacle Course Mom

I first did a post sharing this activity in September (Apple Themed Make This Number) and wanted to share how easy it is to update this station activity simply by using some colored index cards and thematic or seasonal stickers. For the autumn-themed number cards, I decided to use colors that represent autumn for me - red, orange and yellow (you could use any cards or colors that you'd like), and I used some apple, pumpkin and leaf stickers. If this is too busy for you or your child, you … [Read more...] about Autumn Themed “Make This Number”

Autumn Manipulatives

October 4, 2011 by Obstacle Course Mom

You have heard me mention the word "manipulatives" many times and in case you don't know what they are, they are basically items that children can manipulate while working math problems. Here are some manipulatives that are perfect for an autumn themed My Obstacle Course: These are great to pair with math equations to help the child have a good understanding of what the exactly they are doing - what the numbers represent and what it looks like. I think this is so important in … [Read more...] about Autumn Manipulatives

Calendar Number Sequencing

September 26, 2011 by Obstacle Course Mom

Calendar numbers make it super easy to build math skills such as number sequencing. I like to use calendar numbers because they are thematic according to the month or season, which makes building vocabulary relevant to the month we are in easier to weave into conversation as we are working with the numbers. Because the numbers in the calendar number set go up to 31, you have a good range of numbers to work with in a variety of easy to assemble station activities. Using an index card, … [Read more...] about Calendar Number Sequencing
