- Arrange up to 20 small items (such as beans, pennies, or buttons) in a circle. Ask your child to count them. Next, have your child replaces the items while counting backwards.

- Say a number from 1 to 20. Ask your child to show that number by drawing the appropriate number of simple objects (balls, flowers, smiley faces, stars), and then have him or her write the number. Continue with the other numbers. When completed, have your child hold up or point to the picture that shows 8 objects, 6 objects, 9 objects, and so on.
- Make number cards from 11 to 20. Mix up the cards and place them faceup on a table in a random order. Begin by saying a number aloud and asking your child to find that number card, hold it up, and trace over the number with his or her finger. Then turn the card facedown on the table. Continue the activity by taking turns until all the numbers are turned facedown.

- Use 10 pennies. Ask your child to use pennies to show 2 different ways to make 7. For example, show 1 group of 3 pennies and 1 group of 4 pennies, 2 pennies and 5 pennies, or 1 penny and 6 pennies. Continue with other numbers from 6 to 10.

[Create/compare sets of up to 20 objects that are] more, less, and equal to a number
- Use 30 small objects such as pennies, buttons, paper clips, or paper squares. Ask your child to make a set with 12 objects. Then you make a set with more or fewer objects. Work with your child to compare the 2 sets, tell how many are in each set, and tell which set has more and which set has fewer. Continue with other numbers.

- Use 10 pennies. Count out 5 pennies and place them in a stack. Write 5 + on a sheet of paper. Ask your child to add more pennies to your stack. Your child should count out the pennies (such as 4) and then place his or her group on your stack. Have your child write the number of pennies he or she added to your stack. Then work together to complete the addition sentence: 5 + 4 = 9.

- Help your child think of questions to ask family members, such as: What is your favorite color? What is your favorite TV show Have your child collect the data and show the results in a method of his or her choosing, such as a picture or real graph.
- Cut out 20 paper squares. Color 10 squares red and 10 blue. Have your child look for objects in your house that are red and others that are blue. Each time she/he finds something that is red or blue, you place that color square on the table in a row. At the end of the game, count how many of each color were found. Which color has more squares?
