Identifying, Ordering, and Counting Numbers
Identifying Numbers
Please use the number cards provided in your child's packet to have your child identify each number successfully.
Activity #1 - I Spy Numbers Game
Have your child place their number cards on a table or around an open floor. Take turns saying, "I spy (number)" and having your child find that number. Feel free to mix it up - instead of saying the number they should find, say "I spy a number with ___ tens and ___ ones." After your child finds the number, have them tell you what number they have just found.
Ordering Numbers
After your child has identified each number, have your child put the number cards in order. Typically, we always start by sorting the cards into piles of single numbers, 10’s, 20’s, and 30’s. From there, students will put them in order starting with the single numbers.
To also practice ordering numbers, see worksheets under "Missing Number."
Counting Numbers
Students who are practicing counting should count as high as they can once daily.
* You may find it helpful to count with them first, and then have them count independently if you find they are having difficulty.
*When counting, you may want to alternate counting with your child just for fun. You will start with 1, and they will say 2, you 3, etc.
Next Number
Activity #1 – What Comes Next?
Place number cards into a hat or bowl. Have your child pick out a number, say the number, and identify which number comes next. You may read the number on the card if they are having difficulty.
*See also the worksheet "Missing Number After" under "Missing Number."
Missing Number
Below are some missing number worksheets.
*I will sometimes encourage students to find patters in the numbers to help them figure out the missing number(s). For example, if the numbers given are 10, 11, ___, I encourage them to say "one ten, zero ones... one ten, one one... one ten, two ones - what is that number - 12." Finding the missing number before and between are often the trickiest.

Quantity Discrimination
When learning about greater than, less than, and equal to, we used this song to help us visualize how to write the signs (>, <, =) correctly.
Activity #1 – War
Grab a deck of cards and play “War.” The directions were sent home in the packet.
Activity #2
You will need 2 dice, a piece of paper or white board, and a writing utensil.
Directions: Roll 2 dice at one time. Add the dots together and write the number down. Roll both dice again. Add the dots together and write the number next to the first number. Circle the number that is greater, or more.
Activity #3 - Buggy for Numbers
Identifying Uppercase Letters, Lowercase Letters, and Letter Sounds
Please use the alphabet letter cards (uppercase and or lowercase) provided in the packet and have your child identify them once a day.
Activity #1
Place alphabet letter cards in a hat and have your child take out one card at a time. See how many they can get in a row before missing one!
Activity #2 - Bean Bag Toss
Place the alphabet letter cards in an open floor area. Take a Bean Bag or another object that can be safely thrown and will stay in place, and throw it towards the cards. Whichever card it lands on is the letter your child must identify. If they get it correct, they get to keep the card! See how many cards your child can get.
Nonsense Words and CVC Words
Activity #1 – POP!
Play the POP! Game.
“POP” Directions
A fun game we like to play to practice our CVC words in school is “POP!” In the bag are all of the game pieces. All you will need is a hat or a bowl to place the pieces in.
How to Play:
1. Place all of the game pieces in the hat or bowl.
2. Take turns picking a piece of “popcorn.”
3. Each player must read the word. (We sound each letter out first, and then blend the sounds together to read the word.)
4. If the player reads it correctly, they can keep their word. If they read the word incorrectly, they must put just that word back.
5. If a player picks a “POP” card, they must put all of their “popcorn” back.
6. The player to collect 7 pieces of popcorn first, wins!
*If your child is tired of the same words, have your child create new words for the POP! game. Stick to words with the C (consonant), V (vowel), C (consonant) pattern.

Sight Words
To practice sight words, choose a few words from Lists A - F (see below) and have your child write those words down. Your child can write the words with pencils, crayons, colored pencils, or on a whiteboard using various colors. Your child could even use Play-doh, coins, Legos, beads, string, or even pipe-cleaners to practice spelling these words.
