Counting Craze
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice counting objects found on patterned wrapping paper or fabric.
Balance Challenge
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.
