Research suggests that a number line is not appropriate for PreK-1st grade when learning math. Instead they recommend the use of a Number Path. This number path has 1-20 with the color changing every five to emphasize the benchmarks of 5 and 10. This document is meant to be printed on 11x17 paper. You can laminate each individual number path and tape to students' desks to use just like they would have used a number line.

Subitizing is the ability to tell how many objects in a set without having to count. When you first start using subitizing cards children will want to count each object individually, but the goal is to encourage them to see the entire amount without counting. The larger sets are specifically designed to help kids see the smaller sets within and combine them to create the larger set. Even in the smaller sets some configurations are easier for children to subitize than others. For instance, my

This ten frame is designed to print on card stock and then laminate. Then as children are working with manipulatives when solving math problems, they can place them right in their ten frame place mat.
