Students Stuggling to Learn #'s 1-5
If you teach young students in Pre-K, Kinder and 1st grade, you have had the kids who struggle to learn those first five numbers. I have found that either they need more time to learn this concept or there is another circumstance interfering with their learnng.
Sometimes they'll learn to orally count up to 5 or higher but do not recognize the very numbers they are counting.
I try to provide different opportunities for them to interact with these numbers. The hands on approach seems to be the best where they are creating the numbers in a variety of ways. Also, having the repeated exposure, helps the concepts of these numbers to become a part of their permanent memory
I have created a math packet where the kids have some traditional worksheets for counting and matching, but it grows into activities where they are cutting, glueing, coloring and identifying the amounts up to 5 in a variety of ways. This packet includes a number maze that will help the students learn to follow the number order n a maze.
If you have any of these kids that continue to need working on these skills, consider taking a look at the preview of my packet.
