At first we practiced filling up the spaces with shells and counting them until N got familiar enough with the visual that he could tell me at a glance how many shells there were (for numbers 1 - 10). Then I filled up the first one with 10 shells and put a few shells in the next 10-frame so he could see that for numbers greater than 10, you don't have to start counting from 1 every time -- you know there's already 10, so you can just add on. Here's our visual of the number 14, which is clearly, from the diagram, 10 + 4.

Then I extended the idea to include adding two numbers that were each less than 10. For example, I set 5 shells in the top 10-frame and 7 in the bottom one. Then he would take shells out of the bottom one to fill up missing spaces in the top one. So 5 + 7 became 10 + 2, since the 7 shells were used to fill up the 5 empty spaces and there were 2 left over. Then we went back to the previous idea of counting on from a full 10-frame to find out that there were 12 altogether. ... Read more...

As I watched them play, I thought this might be a good opportunity to practice some grouping skills with the boys and work in an introduction to graphs. I grabbed some dry-erase markers and drew up simple horizontal and vertical axes on the window, with numbers going up the side and categories of objects going across. (trains, cars, planes, people) N caught on pretty quickly and had fun searching out like objects from the sticker pages, deciding which category they fit into, and stacking them so they lined up with the numbers on the vertical axis. It turned out to be a pretty successful (based on his level of interest) "math lesson" for the day ~ this always makes the ex-math-teacher mama bear happy :). ... Read more...
