Teaching Tips

Start with numbers 0-10 for students who are still developing early number recognition, then move to numbers 11-20 when they are ready for teen number practice. Have students read the number, count the objects, trace or write the number, and represent it in different ways. Some activities may use small parts, so please use close supervision and choose materials that are safe and appropriate for your students.

These number recognition activities are a low-prep way to support number sense, counting, tracing numbers, number formation, ten frames, fine motor skills, math centers, and early math practice.
