Ask your child to represt a number on a whiteboard,paper,cardboard or in the sand/snow with a stick.

Pick a number between 0-20 to represent in the following ways:

Word - four

Print - 4

Tally Marks - llll

Two Parts - l lll

Picture- X X X X

Dice- Draw a dice showing four

Ten Frame - Draw a ten frame showing four

Here’s how to play:

Material:

Use a number dice, place white stickers over the numbers and print a color or symbol of the counter you will be using.
Ten Frame or two if you’re going above 10
Counters can be buttons, cereal, cotton balls, beads, bread clips, etc., you’ll need to colors/kind of counter ( 1 cotton ball & 1 cereal)

Children roll the cube and name the color/symbol. Take a color/symbol rolled out of the basket and place it in a square on the ten frame. Continue rolling the cube and placing a color/symbol on the ten frame until the whole frame is full (one color/symbol per square). Then have your child sort the color/symbol they have by putting them into their own groups in a line. Count how many of each. Which has the most, least, or same amount? keep playing!

Another way to play: You can also make the ten frame, place it inside a sheet protector and use a whiteboard marker to draw in the ten frame using two different symbols ( x & O)

2's Puzzle

This is a puzzle to practice counting by 2's. You can google search already made puzzles or make your own by selecting an image, drawing the lines and boxes, write the numbers in and then cut it apart.

Count, Write and Tally!

The practice of 1:1 counting, counting in groups of 5, and recording data is the focus of this activity. Once finished, ensure your child counts the groups. If a grouping is five and 2, we count on saying, 5, 6, 7. This helps reinforce that five tally marks are a group of 5, we see five and say five, then count on by ones.
