Children should be able to say their numbers in order, both forwards and backwards, from different starting numbers. Additionally, skip counting (by 2's, 3's, etc.) is an important skill for students as they advance towards multiplication.
Arrow Cards: 1 to 9; 10 to 99; 100 to 999
Teacher's Mistake: 1 to 30; 30 to 100
Teacher's Mistake: 30 to 1; 100 to 30
Number After Race: Within 10; 10 to 30; Within 100
Number Before Race: Within 10; 10 to 30; Within 100
Children learn to combine numbers (building a larger number from 2 smaller numbers) and partition numbers (breaking a number down into smaller numbers). This helps children become more efficient at addition and subtraction, and it's an important set of skills for multiplication and division understanding.
Addition and subtraction strategies become more sophisticated as children transition from unitary strategies (counting up and down by 1's) to composite strategies (adding and subtracting flexibly by breaking down numbers).
Bingo Addition: 2 through 12; 12 through 20
How Many? Part-Part-Whole Addition
Removing Counters: Within 10; Within 20
Fill the Pockets: Sums to 6; Sums to 10; Sums to 20
Counting Counters: To 20; Beyond 20
Place value is more than just knowing the 10's place, 100's place, etc. Place value understanding helps children develop sophisticated mental strategies for solving higher addition and subtraction problems.
Don't rush children to memorize multiplication tables. Instead, give children the opportunity to build an understanding of multiplication and division through games and activities like the following.
Pop Drop Move-It: 2's & 5's; 2's & 4's; 3's; 6's & 7's
Sorting Even & Odd: Cowboy Counters
