Counting Teen Numbers...

We have been working on learning to recognize and write the TEEN numbers. Sometimes we get mixed up and forget that all of the teen numbers start with a "1". Sometimes we write the number backwards, for instance for "thirteen" instead of writing 13, we write 31. We are working on counting groups of objects and recognizing and writing the numerals correctly.
This video may help us remember to read & write them correctly:

Counting 10 to 20...

We have been working on counting; not just saying the numbers in order, but also understanding and representing them. Some numbers are easier than others to read, count and understand. Just like some parents with teenagers, for some of us, the "teens" are a challenge. The numbers don't really seem to make sense. For instance, if we see the number 34, we can easily read it as thirty-four. Numbers like 17 or 13 are not as easy to read, count and remember.
We worked with partners to choose a "teen" number to count out. We included 10, 11, 12, and 20 because they help show the pattern for counting the teens. We gathered things from our room to show the numbers we picked. We grouped our things by tens and ones to help see the place value of the numbers. Maybe this video will help if you too find the "teens" a bit challenging. ;-)
