This is a fun math number sense game to play at home. Your child should be able to count starting at any given number between 0-100. The numbers in the teens are the some of the more difficult ones for first graders to figure out. You can play this on a white board, a chalk board, or a piece of paper. Remember always keep learning fun.

Make up your own. Thank you as always for you continued practice on first grade skills at home. Remember the more you practice the better you get.
Continue also having your child practice counting fluently to 100 even though we count higher. Fluency is VERY important in first grade. The more you child counts fluently, the easier and more fluent addition and subtraction facts become. Recognizing numbers fluently from 0-100 continues to help with our understanding of place value. Show your child the following numbers and have him/her as quickly as possible state the given number:
5 17 1 4 18 14 12 15 2 4 6 10 12 11 1 13 19 3 20 5 1 9 5 16 13 10
Remember "fluency" is the key. The quicker a child knows the answer without having to stop and think, the sooner your child becomes proficient at more difficult skills. Fluency is an important building block for developing number sense! Xtramath is also a great way for your child to work on addition fluency! The skills Xtramath helps your children become more and more fluent with basic facts and also continues to be a stepping stone for for all first grade math skills involving addition and subtraction!
Thanks for your continued support!
