The students are working on meaningful counting. You can help by making sure that when a child says a number he or she points and pulls the object into a bile. Thank you, Selisa Adams Things to try Practice saying number words forward and backward in the range 1—10. Have the child start at different numbers other than 1 or 10. Ask a child what comes before various numbers and what comes after. Extend beyond 10 as the child is ready. Show a child written numerals 1—10 and ask him/her to say the number word for each symbol. Say the correct number word if the child does not know. Show a child an uncovered collection of items (repeat using 3, 7, 12, 16, 18, …). Ask the child to tell how many there are Ask the child to tell how many there are. Notice if the child attempts to say number words while touching the objects rather than just making a guess. After the child answers, ask again, “So how many is that?’ to see if the child understands that the last word tells the amount in the collec-tion (cardinality) rather than the word of the last item only (ordinality). If the child recounts to answer, they may not have yet developed the idea that each number word enumerates the en-tire group. Ask a child to show quantities on his/her fingers. Notice if the child builds the quantity from one or is able to show the fingers simultaneously. Show quanti-ties on your fingers and ask the child to tell how many. Also you can show the child 3 as an example and then get him or her to write 3 on a piece of paper or you can make numbers with playdough as another activity. In September we will be introducing Plus Pup and Minus Mouse. This is a (dog) puppet we use to help students understand that when we add numbers they go up on the number line. I teach the students that when we Plus Pup the numbers go up and get bigger. Presently we are working on 1 more. Minus mouse is another puppet we use to help with subtraction or taking away. I teach that minus mouse takes things away and makes numbers go down or get littler. We are currently working on taking away 1.
