Get ready to be amazed at what daily repetition can do for your little learner(s)!

This tried and true method has helped me tremendously over the years.

How to organize?

The first two pages I like to copy 2 sided and use as a whole group or independently to practice counting and identifying. The tracing pages can be laminated or dry erase pockets for the children to practice during warm-up time or after they finish their work.

• Not to mention, this gives you that extra time you may need before a lesson/class for last minute details while the children settle in and begin warming up!!

How to differentiate?

In my classroom my students understand that when math class begins, they are to grab their dry erase pocket and begin tracing. This daily practice does wonders for their printing and recognition.

I copy the page that corresponds with what level each child needs and easily switch them out as necessary.

Using during a lesson?

After the children independently practice, before they clean up we do lightning round. They listen for the number I say and circle on the 100's chart or find on the traceable sheet. If the number is missing they have to write it in. This is a fabulous quick assessment for you as you observe the room!

We begin each whole group portion of math rote counting, skip counting and identifying shapes!

Enjoy,
