Counting Set - Deluxe Toy Counter

	Counting Set Pieces (Also sold separately)
	Felt Board Background

"We use the Toy Counter set to teach math concepts and found visually representing the addition and subtraction helped the kids understand. They liked playing 'store' and buying the toys with the felt money without realizing they were learning to add, subtract, and make change! Now we 'buy' multiple toys and practice multiplication. With lots of choices the kids play the same game many times which gives them confidence and reinforces the learning experience." -- Nancy in Texas

Fun Felt Idea
Sing this song when teaching fractions. It is a sample of our songs from the Toy Counter CD!

Divide by Two            1:52
I had myself a big red apple, Mama said that I should share.
I said, “Mama, do I have to? I don’t have enough to spare.”

“Divide by two,” Mama said, “Divide by two.”
That would leave a half for me and half for you.
Divide by two, divide by two. Mama said that that’s what I should do.

I had myself a big red apple, Mama said that I should share
I said, “Mama, do I have to? I don’t have enough to spare.”

“Divide by three,” Mama said, “Divide by three.”
That would leave two thirds for them and one for me.
Divide by three, divide by three. Mama told me that’s how it should be.

I had myself a big red apple, Mama said that I should share
I said, “Mama, do I have to? I don’t have enough to spare.”

“Divide by four,” Mama said, “Divide by four.”
I’ll give three fourths away, but not a smidgeon more.
Divide by four, divide by four. Mama says that that’s what friends are for.

I had myself a big red apple. I don’t have it any more!
