Math Week of September 9th
We will be continuing our work on everything that has to do with number 6-10. We will be focusing on recognizing, writing, and quantifying all of the numbers. There will also continue to be a focus on counting accurately, especially when we get into the higher numbers right before number 10. As a reminder from last week, here are some ways that you can practice at home:
- Make a ten frame by cutting the last two egg cups off an empty egg carton. Have your student count up to ten small objects (such as beans, coins, or buttons) as they drop each object into a cup of the ten-frame carton. Change the activity by starting with up to ten objects in cups of the ten-frame carton. Have your student name and write the number of objects.
- Play a game using fingers on both hands to count and to name numbers. Take turns. One player holds up six or more fingers, and the other player names the number.
- Make a poster together showing objects that are commonly found in groups of six, seven, eight, nine, or ten, such as six juice boxes in a package, seven days in a week, eight legs on a spider, nine squares in tic-tac-toe, and ten pins in bowling.
- Show your student page numbers in a book. Have your student count up to page 10 and back to page 1 by flipping pages.
