Math: Number Sense

Children need lots of practise using numbers in situations where they can be successful and have fun.  Here are some key learning goals for the Number Unit:

• Rocognize that the last number in a count tells how many objects have been counted.
• Recognize and write numerals from 1-10.
• Sort, classify and count the number of objects in a set.
• Recognize that counting can begin and end at any point in a sequence. 

Here are a few suggestions of math games you can play:
1.  At the grocery store, have you child look for numerals in the store.  Count your items while waiting in line. 
2.  Play card games.
3.  Ask your child to show you a set of objects that makes a certain number.  Use buttons, pasta etc.
