Counting is the first step to number awareness. We start by memorizing the numbers 1-10 and repeat them verbally. More than just repeating numbers in a sequence, children have to understand that numbers have meaning. These number symbols represent groups of objects and have a chronological order.

Hands

Head and Hands
Place the large number in your head, show the smaller number on your hands. Use your hands to count up from the larger number. This is a great strategy to get your kids ready for mental math.

When adding more than one number, try bunching two numbers together to make the equation easier.

Counting Up
Starting from the smallest number, use your fingers to count up until you reach the large number. Your answer is the number of fingers you held up.
Counting Back
If you are really good with your numbers you can always use your fingers to count backwards.

Car Rounding
Say your in a car. If you stop on any number from 1 to 4, your car roll backward. If you stop on a number from 5 to 9, your car roll forward.
High Low
Fill in the circles with the highest and lowest sets of 10 your number can round to. Decide if your number is closer to the high or the low.
My Mood

-
- The numbers 1 through 4 indicate a bad mood and no games.
Who's the Boss
Let us say your boss is in the circle. What type of mood is she in? Will she give you a raise or are you stuck at the same number?
