Description and Goals:

Students

  • Label sets with correct numerals
  • Match numerals, number words, and sets
  • Identify numerals that come before, in between, or after a given numeral
  • Arrange sets and numerals in numerical order from least to greatest


More Ideas to Add to the Numbers and Counting Tub:

  • Count out the correct number of clothespins to clip to each numeral card
  • Make a number book for each numeral - showing different ways to make that number set - use stickers, stamps, drawings, etc.
  • Use shape notepads to create puzzles and matching games (exp. numeral 5 on half of a mitten and 5 dots on the other half of the mitten)
  • Count the number of objects in a set of bags and order them from least to greatest
