This is a Math lesson using flower pedals!
What is our theme? Spring has sprung
What is the lesson (overall purpose)? Your children will be improving their cutting skills while they continue to practice their number recognition and counting skills. They will be making pedals out of circles, triangles, ovals and place them around the center of a flower that has a number letting them know how many pedals to use.
MA Guidelines/Standards: Recognize and name written numbers 0-10. Understand the relationships between the numerals 0-10
Learning Outcomes: Students will recognize numbers between 0-10. Students will understand the correct quantity with written numbers.
Songs, Books & Videos (Motivational Techniques)
Go outside and find a flower that you can pick. Make sure it is a flower that doesn’t have too many pedals. Pull the pedals off one by one counting them as you pull them off.
Materials:
Scissors, colored paper, numbers 0-10 written on pieces of paper, markers or crayons
Activity (Procedure):
Activity Wrap Up: Your child is having fun counting petals and making beautiful flowers.
How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment) Is your child interested in counting? Does your child recognize the numbers 1-10? Can your child put the correct number of petals on the flower?
How can you extend this activity? (Modifications) Make other shape pedals. Have your child make a garden by making many flowers to add pedals to.
Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions) When all is finished counting your child can then glue them on to make a flower picture.

Materials:
Scissors, colored paper, numbers 0-10 written on pieces of paper, markers or crayons
Activity (Procedure):
- Draw a flower without petals ( Stem, leaves, with a round circle at the top )
- Have your child cut 10 circles, 10 triangles, 10 ovals ( small enough to fit around the top of the
- flower ) The circles, triangles and ovals can be different colors.
- Put a number in the center of the flower and have your child add pedals that match the number on the flower. For example: Number 4 is placed on the flower, your child will then decide what kind of pedals they will use ( pink ovals ). They will then add 4 pink ovals to the top of the flower.
- Continue to put different numbers on the flower and have your child create flowers with different petals.
