These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore. Children find answers in reference books, as they explore the room, and as they use their own creativity. Available as a downloadable pdf and in Spanish.
