100 Days of School 10-frames

Want to make your first 100 days of school do more than counting? By using this activity with 10-frames, your primary students will not just be counting every day, but they will also become familiar with how 10-frames work and will be counting by 5s and 10s. Each 10-frame will have their own distinctive picture that will help children distinguish each 10-frame as they count. I like to keep going after we hit our 100th day to help the students learn about place value as we count through the e

October Bingo 1-10 and 1-20

This is a student favorite. The mix of numbers and month-related pictures keeps them engaged. I have had success even with my students who struggle with maintaining focus. With separate cards for students working on identifying 1-10 and 1-20 you will be able to differentiate for abilities. For groups with varying abilities, you can just use the picture call cards for the 1-10 game and the number call cards for 1-20 and you can use both game card levels at the same time.

September Bingo Bundle

This bundle includes both the 1-10 and 1-20 versions of September Bingo. This is a great assessment tool as well as a fun practice opportunity for your students. There are call cards for each game as well as 7 bingo cards for each. For mixed ability groups you can use the numbers from 1-20 and the pictures from 1-10 and mixed groups work very well. Each month has pictures that are appropriate to the holidays and activities. September has Grandparent's Day, Labor Day and is First Responders M

September Bingo 1-10

This is a great small group numeral identification assessment/game that also brings in the important celebrations of the month. September has Labor Day, Grandparents Day, and is First Responders Month. You simply cut and laminate (if you wish to use them in future years). I have used mini pompoms, buttons, and other small items as markers. I start this activity as a small group and I am the caller. This not only introduces the activity, but gives me an opportunity to see if my students are

December Bingo 1-20

By this time of year, most Kindergartens are introducing teen numbers. This month's Bingo engages students with pictures of the season and provides several ways to differentiate instruction. I use the 1-10 cards with students who still need support with the lower numbers and the 1-20 to support students who are learning to identify their teen numbers. With some students I will just verbalize the number and with others I will show the number to help them find the call numbers. This game is so

January Addition and Number Bingo

By this time of year, most Kindergarteners are exploring early addition. This month's Bingo engages students with pictures of the season and provides several ways to differentiate instruction. I use the 1-10 cards with students who still need support with the lower numbers and the 1-20 to support students who are learning to identify their teen numbers. With the students who are ready, I have addition call cards for 1-10 and 10+ cards for the 1-20 games. This makes differentiation a breeze and

September Bingo 1-20

This Bingo set comes with a page of call cards ready to cut and use as well as 7 bingo cards. There is a bundle set with both 1-10 and 1-20 available. I have printed on card stock and laminated and I am on my 3rd year using this set. This is not only a great opportunity for your students to practice connecting numerals with their name, but it is also a chance to increase vocabulary and discuss the cultural holidays of the month. Once the children understand the rules of the game, it becomes

Back to School Bingo

This is a fun small group activity that can help you assess whether your students are able to identify numerals by name. This activity also lets you introduce classroom and school elements as your students look for the pictures. Small pompoms, buttons or other small items work great as markers. Once the students are familiar with this activity, it becomes a popular math center with one child chosen as the "caller." By laminating things, I am on my 3rd year using this resource. It is also a
