Estimating, sorting, counting and writing

 

 How many conversation hearts does it take to fill up a big heart?  How many hearts of each color do you have?  These are some of the math questions we asked and answered during our Valentine's Day party.  Estimating, sorting and one-to-one correspondence counting are important skills we learn during our preschool years.  There are many ways to make these math skills fun and exciting to learn.  We had an amazing amount of fun finding out the answers to these questions. 
Oh and by the way, we fit 22 hearts into the big heart. 

Hailey guessed 17 hearts would fit into her heart.  Pretty good estimate!

First you sort (classify), then you count, then you write.
