Number Talks: All about numbers 1-10

The resource, Number Talks: All about numbers 1-10, provides a specialized tool to help teachers foster number sense among students. Primarily targeted at preschoolers to second grade learners, this resource zeroes in on the fundamental understanding of numbers one through ten via various engaging mathematical activities.

Incorporating 31 pages of structured lessons and workouts, students are invited to choose a number between one and ten. They then engage in the learning process by:

• Dotting their chosen number
• Writing it down
• Tallying it up
• Drawing pictures that match with their selected numeral.

This fosters recognition of numerical symbols while associating them with respective quantities.

The PDF worksheets included in this package stimulate conscientious exploration of each individual number for enhanced understanding—the process involves coloring specific squares associated with each numeral and locating it on an easy-to-understand visual tool - a number line.

Ten-frame set up (provided for both 10 units and expanded onto 20)

Learners are directed towards matching numerals with representative blocks filled onto these frames—a fun way for kids to visually comprehend how numbers grouping are based on tens or twenties.

Addition exercises within ‘ten’:

Innovative tasks ask students to circle exactly quantified groups of dots before adding them up—a creative approach that builds familiarity with early addition strategies.

Whether implemented across large groups in classroom settings, used as enriching homework assignments or adapted for deep dives during small group tutorials—Number Talks offers diverse ways to assist young mathematicians understanding the logic behind numbers.
