Jar of Pom Poms

Worksheet Description

The worksheet presents a large, empty jar with a lid, alongside instructions for the student to count out and place 20 pom-poms inside the jar to make it appear full. A visual representation of the number 20 is provided to guide the student in understanding how many pom-poms are required. This activity is likely to be accompanied by physical pom-poms that the student will use to complete the task, making it an interactive learning experience.

The worksheet is designed to teach students numerical counting and the concept of quantity by having them count to 20. It also introduces the idea of filling an empty space to make it full, giving a practical understanding of the terms “empty” and “full.” Through this activity, students practice their counting skills and develop an understanding of volume and capacity. Additionally, the task can enhance fine motor skills as they might physically handle and place small objects like pom-poms into the jar.
