Activities for Families

Help your child to easily and quickly recognize numbers of objects. Practice in two ways.

Use ten frames

Use Number Cards that have ten frames. Pick a card at random and playfully see if your child can recognize the quantity. For variety, have your child quiz you sometimes.

Use fingers

Show some fingers on one or both hands and have your child recognize the total count. When two hands are used for numbers over five, one of the hands should have 5 fingers raised – that way it looks like a ten frame.
