Those same counters make fabulous tools for creating numbers in a writing tray. This can help strengthen fine motor skills as well as helping to practice writing the numbers.

I love to make class books and place them in our classroom library. Students feel like their work has a purpose. They see themselves as young authors! This printable can help kids with number recognition in such an easy way. With only a few supplies, including paint and q-tips, can help kids dot each number 1 though 10.

I thought it was interesting that there were some rhyming elements to the book. I also liked how the words corresponded with the illustrations. However, I do agree with the one reviewer that this book is very simple and even non-logical at times. For example, when describing the number 2, the examples he used were fox eyes and then two separate keyholes as opposed to another thing that natural came with two.

If you would like to create your own class book, I am offering it as a freebie! I made it in two versions. The PDF is not editable so you would have to write in your class name, the Word document can be edited to add your name and the date to it. Love all their awesomely creative ideas: teddy bears, people, family at the movie theater, gardens! Two of his works were runners-up, or Caldecott Honor Books, for the ALA's annual award for picture book illustration, the Caldecott Medal.

Engage children with digital learning

C. Represent equivalent forms of the same number through the use of concrete objects, drawings, word names and symbols. Students will bring their recording papers and gather in front of the chalkboard. Ask each group how many different ways they used two numbers to get the sum of 10. Record each new way on the chalkboard. Provide illustrations if most groups did not find that particular way of obtaining the sum of 10. The class will discuss the various ways each group used to get the sum of 10 and encourage the students to find patterns among their examples (i.e., 3 and 7, 7 and 3). I put them together into a book so that students can look through it whenever they want! They love seeing themselves as authors and illustrators. As these emerging writers work/create, teachers circulate about the room adding student names along with short narratives from students about their work explaining what they chose to create and how the art piece achieves this goal. Brainstorming: is when a group of people works together to think of solutions for a specific problem by creating a list of ideas from their imagination.

Instruct them to use the pencil to draw a picture that uses some of the dots the way we have been talking about. (You can use all of them, but you don’t have to. Use as many as you would like for your picture.) When done, they can color drawing with markers.Sorting is an important skill to learn for beginning math skills. This is a super simple to set up sorting activity and will help kids sort numbers 1 through 10. Assessment: Did students work cooperatively in their groups to identify, record, and communicate the various ways to use two numbers to equal the sum of 10? Collect students’ recording papers. This IWB Maths game works well as part of whole class teaching and learning or as a small adult-led guided group session. Children can write the addition calculation on small whiteboards or show the answer with their fingers. This game helps to consolidate children’s conceptual subitising skills and addition within ten. This game is designed in PowerPoint and therefore easily editable (24 slides in length and fully interactive). Crews was drafted into the army in 1963, and sent to Frankfurt, Germany. Their first daughter, Nina was born in Germany, and their second was born a year later in New York. Nina is also an award-winning children's book author.

Donald Crews (born August 30, 1938) is an American illustrator and writer of children's picture books. In 2015, the American Library Association (ALA) honored him with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, recognizing his lasting contribution to children's literature. Common subjects of his include modern technology (especially travel vehicles), and childhood memories. His stories often include few humans. I found it interesting that these two reviewers had such different opinions of the book. While one found the book’s premise to be fun, vibrant, and interesting, the other thought it was contrived and unoriginal. What made you make a different picture than your friend? What did you use to make your picture different? Now this is interesting. Are these pictures the same? No?? But they are both on white paper and they both have the same number of dots? How come they are different? Why didn’t everyone make the exact same picture? In art we call this using our creativity- coming up with new ideas or looking at the same shape or form and seeing it in many different ways. We are using our imagination to create images in our minds that we draw on paper.)Next, they placed their dots on their paper and drew their design. I showed them how to color their design and then glue the dots down with their glue sponges. Students paint the spaces with Crayola Washable Watercolor Paints.

Students are using numerals to represent the different ways they have combined two numbers to equal 10 by recording each combination onto their recording papers. The teacher is moving around, asking questions, observing work, making suggestions, and guiding when needed. The groups will clean up their material according to the instructions.
