Ordering By Number Size

comparing lengths

writing the number 5

comparing length and number

 this was a number hunt game...the numbers were each at the end of a long piece of yarn, winding in and out and under, and when all the numbers were found we put them in backwards order and counted down....

ordering numbers 1 through 12! 

This week the children read the book The Napping House and spent time creating a poster with all of the different characters, and then counting up all of the eyes, ears, legs, paws, noses, and mouths. We looked at counting, length, and number order in games such as comparing the lengths of four names made with cube towers, counting up handfuls of cubes and making towers and then putting them in order, and coloring and writing numbers on pumpkins and putting them in our own order. We will soon be looking at patterns, and comparisons of length and number fit nicely into this sequence of math thinking!
