Learning Resources Three Bear Family - Manual

LE R0 74 4
Sequencing
Select 4 red Bears and 4 blue Bears.
Arrange the Bears in a pattern for the
child to copy. For example, red Bear,
red Bear, blue Bear, blue Bear, red Bear,
red Bear, etc. Have the child copy your
pattern. Take turns, and let the child
arrange his or her Bears in a pattern for
you to copy. As the child becomes
more confident, add a third and fourth
color to the sequence. Repeat this
activity using size instead of color.
Number Stories
Three Bear Family ® Counters are
perfect for early story problems
because children easily identify with
them. Story problems about the Bear
counters should focus on realistic
activities. For example: 5 Bears were
playing outside. Two ran inside for a
snack. How many Bears were left
outside?
Zero Bears
Zero can be a difficult concept for
young children to learn. Draw 2
circles on a piece of paper. Have the
child put several Bears in one circle.
Leave the other circle empty. Say, "Here
are 2 sets. One has 3 Bears. The other
set is empty; we say it has zero Bears."
Point to the set with zero Bears.
