Teaching number words can seem a bit hard, but it doesn’t have to be. Jael has learned the first ten number words on her own, and I want to help her learn eleven to twenty. How do I plan to do this? What Math tools can I use? How can I teach my child the number words without her feeling overwhelmed or bored? I created a dinosaur number of words pack.
Dinosaur Number Words
I won’t lie to you. My first thought was to only write the number words we will be working on, on her dry erase board in her room, but I figured:
- Caleb would erase it
- Jael might draw over it
- Jael might ignore it altogether
After some brainstorming, I came up with two activities that I know she can repeat on her own:
- Self-correcting number words puzzles
- reusable worksheets
- reusable clip cards
