1. Sorting Activity:
   • Distribute plastic or paper eggs to each student and an egg carton.
   • Instruct students to sort their eggs by color and size into the egg cartons.
   • Facilitate Discussion: Walk around and ask students to explain why they sorted the eggs the way they did.

B. Counting & Math Games (10 minutes)

1. Counting Practice:

   • Have students count the number of eggs they have in their cartons.
   • Ask, "If I add one more egg, how many do I have now?" Give them a moment to add and count again.

2. Simple Addition/Subtraction:

   • Use the whiteboard to demonstrate simple equations using the eggs. For example:
     • "2 eggs + 1 egg = ?"
     • "3 eggs - 1 egg = ?"
   • Call on students to answer, encouraging them to use their fingers or the eggs for counting.
