MESSAGE IN A BACKPACK

NUMBER SENSE
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
MANY CHILDREN ARE ALE TO COUNT FROM
THE NUMBERS ZERO TO FIVE, BUT MANY
CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE THE CONCEPT OF
WHAT OR WHY IT MEANS THAT NUMBER.

HOW TO BE INVOLVED
IT CAN BE IN DAILY TASKS!

1. WHEN PLATING FOOD, TRY

COUNTING THE NUMBER OF ITEMS
THAT ARE ON THE PLATE WITH
YOUR CHILD (EX: THE NUMBER OF
CHICKEN NUGGETS ON EACH PLATE)
2. WHILE PUTTING AWAY TOYS, COUNT
WITH YOUR CHILD THE AMOUNT OF
TOYS THAT ARE PUT AWAY
3. COUNT HOW MANY ITEMS ARE
BEING PUT IN THEIR SCHOOL BAG
(EX: FOLDERS, PENICLS, OR
ERASERS)
