For many students, identifying the numerals from 0 to 10 is somewhat simple. Recognition of two digit numbers are considerably more difficult. Most difficult are the numerals from 10 to 20, as they don't necessarily follow the same pattern(23, we say the 2 or twenty first, then we say the three, for 17, we say the second number-7 first!). We have been playing a variety of games that reinforce recognition of numerals 10 to 20. The hint we always whisper to them is "if it is a 2 digit number and it starts with a 1, it is probably,...a teen. We have also been talking about 1,2 and 3 digit numbers. Please take every opportunity to identify numbers (specifically 2 digit numbers) whenever possible, i.e. Traffic speed limit signs, in flyers, on tv, on signs etc.
It was very interesting to note all the patterns that the students found once we built this number chart together.
