This week we will carry on looking at numbers beyond 10.

Let's play a counting game, it's called "I Count, You Count". The teachers will point to themselves and start counting from any number between 1-20.  For example: 4,5,6,7

Then the teacher will point to you and you have to carry on.  For example: 8,9,10,11

Continue this pattern of the teachers pointing to themselves and you and see how far you can count.  Play again starting at a new number.

Play a game of "Snakes and Ladders".  

You can play online here:

Make sure you are counting on after the dice is rolled.  For example: if you were on 14 and rolled a three, count on 15, 16, 17 as you move up the board.

Playing this game will help you to see the number sequence and become more familiar with numbers beyond 10.

Have Fun playing these games.
