Ladybug & Smile Face Counting

TEACCH Math Task

This is another task that I placed in the TEACCH system but can easily be used for a math group. You can find colorful notepads at teacher supply stores and office stores. The counters I found at party stores. The smiley face objects are erasers. Stickers can be found at any of the above and also grocery stores and dollar stores. There are 2 ways to increase or decrease the difficulty of this task. Most challenging simply write the number on the paper and then the student places the correct number of objects on the paper. This works on object counting and shows that the student understands that each number actually represents so many items. The second way to complete this task is what is shown in the pictures. Place stickers on the paper for each item. Then the student will match, one sticker equals one object. I always had them point to the number and say the number if they knew what it was before placing the objects on the paper.
