#1-10 dot cards with # formation. There are green and red dots on the cards for students to use the finger to make the numbers. I use this one on one with students. . The black dots are big enough for students to place small objects on. I mostly use the flat round rocks used in flower vases. This is also added to the math center with the flat round rocks so students can put the rocks on the dots and count them. For best results print on card stock Then laminate on small laminator.

This is a printout use to make two shape houses (they are the same color) using different colored contact paper. This is used in the building study with the Creative Curriculum. I printed out on white paper and then stuck the colored contact paper wanted for each piece in copy machine one at a time to make sure each piece turned out the color I wanted. The picture you see for the thumbnail is when it is printed on different colored contact paper. In word it does not look like might much as it is

I don't know why the preview looks the way it does, but when I download it the lines and dots and everything is in the correct place. This is ordinal numbers 1-20. Each card has the ordinal number word, the ordinal number, stars ( to be colored for correct ordinal number), regular number, and dots to match number. I am using this in my pre-k classroom as floor pieces for the students to stand on when lining up. I have labeled the first one Line Leader, the next three Door Holder, and the last

This is small number 1-20 for lanyard use. Inch and half to two inches in size. During the school year I teach pre-k students the numbers slowly and only put 2 or 3 on my lanyard at a time. While they are lining up I am asking them questions about the numbers. What is this? Can you show me that number on your fingers? Can you count to that number with me? or other simple things. I also do this during the afternoon dismissal time that can take up to 15 minutes. I use them more as a transition

This is almost everything you need to make small groups rotation. Small groups are short mini like lessons that all students visit daily. I have 4 small groups including blue square, green triangle, red rectangle, and yellow rhombus. The students are split into these groups and this is where they start the rotation and it goes in a circle. Example if I was in the blue square group next I would go to the green triangles, then the red rectangle, and finally the yellow rhombus. Now I have visited a
