I've been busy with too many projects, but I didn't want to miss posting a little something. Everyone has such great ideas and I just can't wait to implement some of these in my classroom. I really like the idea for number of the day. We always talk about the number before and the number after, but I'm loving the concept of ten less and ten more. I use the colored plastic index card holders for buttering "popcorn" words in pocket charts and thought what a great way to show the Number of the Day! This isn't a really good picture, but you get the idea. I think I won't highlight the Number of the Day, just the numbers before, after, ten less, and ten more.
Here's a little game I put together,
Grab Bag Teen Numbers. I use colored zipper pouches purchased from Wal-mart, but colored paper bags or paper bags with a colored circle would work just as well. Put a different amount of objects in each bag. The student chooses a bag and records the color on the recording sheet. Then the student counts the objects in the bag using the ten-frame chart and records the correct amount on the recording sheet. Enjoy!
