About this resource

What's inside this resource

These popcorn themed number cards are perfect for students who are learning with a popcorn theme. They make the perfect tool for students to learn the letters of the number.

What is Included:

This set includes one number card and one number word card for all numbers up to 20.

Ways to Use the Cards:

  • Play a matching game by matching the numbers to their number words.

  • Attach a paper clip to a number card and use a magnetic fishing pole to "catch" the numbers for a fun fishing game.

  • Use a sand or salt tray for students to practice writing the numbers or number words on each card.

  • Have students find the numbers that you have hidden around the room for a fun number hunt.

  • Place the number cards in numerical order.

  • Create a pocket char game where you place the cards on a pocket chart and hide a picture behind one of the numbers. The students will guess which number the hidden picture is behind.

  • Add objects so students can count to the number on the card.

When to Use:

  • Math Center - Place the cards in a math center for students to match independently or with a partner.

  • Morning Tubs or Baskets - Place the cards in a morning bin for students to work on while their classmates arrive to class.

  • Small Group Activities - The teacher can pull aside a small group of students who need extra practice identifying numbers and number words.

These popcorn number cards are a great activity for students to practice number recognition. They are a low prep activity for teachers to prepare for students. Simply print, cut apart and laminate for durability. These cards can be stored in a task box for easy set up, clean up, and storage.
