To confirm that a child can successfully draw the association between the quantity (concrete) and the numbers (abstract).
Age:
4.5-5 years old
Material:
- Teen Boards with the Wooden Number Cards
- 9 Ten Bead Bars
- One Short Bead Stair
Presentation:
- Invite your child to roll out a mat and take all the necessary materials to the mat
- Place the Teen Boards in a vertical column
- Ask the child to lay a Ten Bead Bar on the left side of each Ten on the Board
- Ask the child to make the number "Eleven" with the Beads, and then with the Cards
- Ask the child what number comes after eleven; he will reply, "Twelve". Ask him to make Twelve using both the Numerals and Beads.
- Tel the child that he can continue making all of the remaining Numerals up to nineteen in the same way
- Ask the child to read the numbers back to you.
Extension 1:
- Ask a child to lay out all the materials as per the Presentation
- Ask the child to repeat the activity in reverse, by making the number with the Cards first, and then the corresponding Beads
Extension 2:
You make a number at random with the Cards, e.g. 16, and the child makes the number with the Beads
Extension 3:
You make the number with the Beads first, and the child makes the corresponding number with the Cards.
Extension 4:
You states any number from 11 to 19 and the child makes the number with the Beads and Boards.
