It is important to include teaching the Numbers 1 to 10 in your curriculum for your ELLs. Numbers are essential for everyday communication. Mastering numbers 1 to 10 will give your students confidence in their language learning abilities.

Let’s start with the visual aids such as the numbers flashcards as a review.

Use the Counting beads flashcards to count aloud and practice the colors as well.

Teacher: Let’s count!
Students: one, two, three!
Teacher: There are three beads! What color are they?
Students: blue, purple, pink!

Have the students say the color sequence in the flashcards.

Utilize hands-on manipulatives like counting beads if you have them, wiggly eyes or bottle caps. ELLs can physically manipulate these objects while counting, and matching to the numbers on each card reinforcing the connection between numbers and quantity. Use this activity for any math assessment.

Use repetition to reinforce understanding by using all the cards illustrations to glue onto a brown lunch bag to do more counting. I used pompoms.

Provide additional support for students by playing with these number mats for many games. There are three, one with the beads, one with number words and another with the numeral. One mat will be board and the other can be cut and used as cards to match.

Here’s my example: Match the number word to the beads on the mat.

Or match the numerals to the number words.

Or just cut them all and have cards to match.

Take a look!

A set of printable Kindergarten Math worksheets to wrap it up.

Students will color the beads as in the card to make a pattern for each number.

Teacher: five! Number five is red!

Trace the number and the word in red.

Let's color the beads: blue, purple, pink, yellow,red.
