Teen Numbers

Although the snow and ice have taken some of our time together this week, we are zooming right on ahead and continue to practice our teen numbers. The girls have loved learning a few YouTube songs which have helped them remember that, "numbers in the teens, they start with a one!" and "numbers in the teens have a group of ten!". We have been writing the numbers, making them on our ten frames (we now need two!), and playing games to help with automaticity. Learning about teen numbers has sparked a beginning understanding of place value, which will come in handy as we start working with the hundred chart and we work our way toward the 100th day of school. Ask your daughter to sing along with the songs below!
