Number to Quantity Match FREEBIE

Here's a useful MATH FREEBIE for preschool or kindergarten from Mrs. Daleo! 

My son had fun cutting out the numbers and gluing them under the correct quantity of dots. 

This set comes with 4 different number to quantity matching sheets: 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, and 15-20. They are perfect for helping students develop number sense, as well as for cutting and gluing practice.

These sheets would work well for assessment, independent practice, as a whole or small group activity, or as a math center. 

Mrs. Daleo's Teaching Tip

She created this set as a math assessment. She says to "plan your report card assessments ahead of time. Try to find as many assessments that can be done as a whole group rather than one on one. In kindergarten, one on one time is hard to come by, so any assessment that can be done by all the students at the same time is a great timesaver!"

Number Puzzles FREEBIES for Preschool and Kindergarten

I simply MUST blog about the wonderful discovery I made this week! My youngest son is working on rote counting and number identification. I found this great TEACHER FREEBIE on Teacher's Notebook that is not only academically helpful, but fun, too! 

This set of NUMBER PUZZLES comes from Ms. Denise at PlayLearnTeach. The set includes 4 different puzzles: 2 puzzles for numbers 1-10 and 2 puzzles for numbers 11-20. The puzzles have an Earth Day theme, but the beach and playground scenes make it possible to extend their use into the summer. 

My little guy had such a fun time putting the puzzles together! He couldn't wait to do them again to show Daddy! 

HOW WE ARE USING THE PUZZLES

1. After laminating and cutting them apart, I place the scrambled pieces in front of my son.

2. I ask, "What number comes first?" When he finds the number one, I sometimes have to remind him to put it on the left, as he is still working on left to right progression.

3. I keep asking him to find the next number. Sometimes, we have to count from the beginning again so he can recall which number is next in the sequence. (This is especially true of the 11-20 set.) 

4. After one of the 1-10 sets has been completed, we count from 1-10 as we point to each number. Then, we move it to the middle of the table. 

5. We finish the 11-20 puzzle in the same manner. After both puzzles are finished, we point to each number and count from 1-20. 

Isn't the beach scene very eye-catching? My little guy loves this one! As he completes  these puzzles, my son is working on number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, and rote counting. Click on the picture below to grab your own set for FREE! 

And, I just found ANOTHER FREE SET today! This set has a summer theme. It covers numbers 1-10, 11-20, counting to 20 by 2s, and counting to 100 by 10s. Click on the picture to download it, too! 

As always, thank you for reading!

Another Pirate Freebie!

     I have a new freebie for you!
     Sorry, but I just realized that I cannot offer this game for free because the graphics aren't mine :(
However, it is still available for only $1.
     It's a remake of one of my math games from "Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade Math Games"--with cooler graphics.  That game has long been a favorite of my students, so I was going to make another version.  Here it is.
  
     The game has students choosing cards and counting out quantities of coins for numbers 0 through 10.    The game directions also include ideas for differentiation, such as choose 2 cards and add them and count your treasure by 2s and 5s.

Click on the first picture to go to the TPT page, then click "Download."

     If you download it and like it, please take a few moments to return to the download page and click on the tab that says "Ratings and Feedback."  I would really appreciate your thoughts.  

     You might also like the game "Pirates! A Sight Word Reading Game".

     Here's the link to the free sticker charts with different themes (including pirates), in case you missed them.

     There are more freebies available on Vintage Teacher's blog.  Be sure to visit her and download a few!

Hope your students have fun and learn a little math, too!
