Magnet Board Story
Share the Donuts!
Bear just
finished cooking a dozen—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12--delicious donuts! Then he
heard a knock at the door. His friend
Penguin came to visit. Bear divide the
donuts in half—6 for him and 6 for Penguin.
Just then
another knock. Hello, Pig! With three of them Bear divide the donuts
into thirds—everyone getting 4 each! Bear was just about to take a bite when knock, knock! Knock, knock! The Raccoon twins
arrived. Now there are 6 of them! So they each get 1, 2 donuts a piece!
Knock,
knock, knock!! What’s this?! The team
of six just won their game! Let’s
celebrate! Now there are 12 of us! One donut each! And that’s just right!
Parent Tip
Children
need to know more than just how to count.
Understanding what number words represent—the “how many”—is an important
step in developing number sense and other math skills. Take time to explore how you can rearrange
objects into different groups, but always keep the same number, such as 12
donuts or with five toys or blocks make a group of 1 and 4 or 2 and 3. There’s always five blocks, just rearranged
differently. Playing with numbers now
will help your child build a foundation for math learning in the future.

**I got flustered during storytime--the song was supposed to go between the magnet story and the book. Oh, well!
