Materials

Before activity collect small rocks into a bucket/bag alone OR with your child.
Activity Wrap Up:
Review the numbers in each circle. Make sure each circle has the correct number of rocks.
How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment)
How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)
Try more circles! Maybe you add numbers 11-20!
Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions)
Some students may need help remembering the number name or the quantity of each number. Always start from 1 and count up to reach the number they’re forgetting. Stop on that number, chances are while they count it out they’ll remember the name!
Show them they can figure out the number by themselves when they start at 1 and count up, stopping on the number they’re stuck on.
They can do the same thing when counting out the correct number of rocks.
