Description
Young learners need multiple opportunities to work with numbers in a variety of ways. This resource requires students to count, identify, write and think about numbers. In the beginning kids must count the number of mice in a bowl. They need to write the answer so be sure to teach number writing. That will give students success when they are writing their answers. It is frustrating for a young learner to be asked something that they cannot yet do independently. Thus, there are a few pages for number writing practice at the end of the file.
Next there are activities for students to color, cut and glue mice in a bowl. They need to be able to recognize numbers from 1-20 for success. Use morning center time to review and count with all children. Ask them questions using a number line what number comes before and after a targeted number. Do this frequently. You will be amazed how each child will be able to think like a mathematician rather quickly. Always ask them questions about numbers. Encourage math in all students.
Remember to have kids talk with kids about their math discoveries. It is important for children to talk with peers about their learning discoveries! Have fun with math.
Sincerely,
Alberto Gutierrez (retired Kindergarten teacher)
