Create a math activity i can do with my kindergarten and 1st graders for world math day

This resource focuses on basic counting skills for early learners by using the theme of balloons as celebrated objects in various countries. Students will practice counting from 1 to 10, writing corresponding numerals, and comparing quantities, fostering an understanding of 'more' and 'fewer' through interactive activities involving balloon counts from Mexico, France, India, and Egypt. The resource expands into comparing group sizes and understanding flags from different nations, encouraging students to make concrete, representational, and abstract comparisons based on numbers. In addition, it incorporates a visual matching activity to strengthen recognition of numbers alongside groups of dots, helping young learners solidify their counting skills in a fun and engaging way.
