8 Simple Ways for Kids to Represent Numbers
/Children need opportunities to learn about numbers. Counting, identifying numbers, and understanding quantity are foundational concepts that students build upon. Check out this blog post to see how I introduce different representations.
Join the Numberock crew as they learn about different representations of numbers.
Number Representation Cards
I have created a set of number cards that help to build or reinforce number sense and number representation!
This resource is perfect for Number of the Day and for practicing subitizing, counting, sorting, ordering, and comparing. You can use the cards for assessment, whole group, small groups, math centers, and card games.
Card Games
Match - Match 2 representation of a number
Memory or Concentration - Like Match, but the cards are turned over!
War - How to play
Snap - How to play
Ways to Sort
Sort by number
Odd versus Even
Number/Not the number (if you’re focusing on the number 4, sort the representations of 4 and numbers that are not 4)
We used these cards on the pocket chart together as a class and some students were already grasping the concept of telling time to the hour and adding coin amounts.
