Menorah + Candles = Math Mania!

The Chanukah Menorah gives us such wonderful opportunities to focus on the children's math skills!

From simple rote counting, to corresponding a written number to its value in object...

We had lots of fun with these different Menorah Math Centers!




  We put out lots and lots of candles... the children found the number on the can, and placed the corresponding number of candles into it!




counting and placing real candles

placing them in the correct order, from Right to Left.

 

More Math....

  This activity also included color matching. How many of each color?

Chanukah Shape discrimination! Creating a menorah, spinning top, latkes, and more using familiar shapes!
