 This resource is included here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Numbers-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-4-6008555

Understanding numbers 1 to 10 sets the stage for future math concepts like counting.

Use the number flashcards to build vocabulary and sentence structure. For example, they learn to say, “There are five books”.

Students will count the books in each bookcase and match to another numeral flashcards available in the complete resource.

Matching the bookcase with books flashcards to a numeral cutout is a hands-on, visual, and meaningful activity. Children practice identifying numerals by connecting them with a visual quantity.

Have the students respond to questions like “How many?”

Students: six! There are six books.

Use the number small cards with smaller groups of students as they count the books to match to a number small card from the complete resource, strengthening the understanding that each object represents one count.

A cutting and placing the numeral cutouts Worksheets give students important practice with scissors and hand-eye coordination, building school readiness skills. Then, they can trace the number words.

Students can complete the task independently or work in pairs, fostering confidence and collaboration while practicing math and English. This worksheet is for reading the color word and complete the coloring.

Print the pages of the book and use it a as a class book for every ten students or a book for each student.  Matching quantities to numbers helps them understand abstract concepts like “five” by seeing five books grouped together.

 Practicing numbers through games helps students improve their pronunciation, rhythm, and listening comprehension.

Print and assemble the file folder game.  Students connect three representations of numbers: Visual (books in the bookcase), Symbolic (numerals), Written (number words).

Because it's a reusable file folder game, students can return to it multiple times for independent or small group practice—reinforcing learning through repetition.
