Math: We are practicing writing numbers 1-20. We are working specifically on tricky teens. Make sure your child is is writing 14 not 41; 15 not 51 etc.. Here is a chant that will help remember the order of writing the numbers.
1 and 1 make 11 fun,
1 and a 2 tell 12 what to do,
1 and a 3 tell 13 climb a tree,
1 and a 4 tell 14 shut the door,
1 and a 5 keep 15 alive,
1 and a 6 tell 16 pick up sticks,
1 and a 7 send 17 to heaven,
1 and a 8 makes 18 great,
1 and a 9 keep 19 in line
2 and a 0 makes 20 a hero!
We are also highlighting that:
- 11 is one ten and 1 one
- 12 is one ten and 2 ones
- 13 is one ten and 3 ones
- 14 is one ten and 4 ones
- 15 is one ten and 5 ones
- 16 is one ten and 6 ones
- 17 is one ten and 7 ones
- 18 is one ten and 8 ones
- 19 is one ten and 9 ones
- 20 is 2 tens or 10 and 10
