Introduction Here are ten easy-to-use, multi-purpose games to help make Early Number come alive in your classroom. This is a companion book to “Exploring 1-5” and “Exploring 6-10”. The ten themes have immediate appeal for young students, who will love manipulating frogs, dogbones and freckles as part of their daily Maths activities. And with ten activities, there’s plenty for up to a whole class to use together, working in groups of three or more. Each activity has been designed to help your students practise recognising, matching and using numbers 0-10 in an imaginative way, with follow-up ideas for using the numbers 11-19. To help you with your programming, there’s a set of Outcome Indicators matched to each activity. There are also mini-posters showing how children count 0-10 in eight other languages (see pages 78-86). Encourage students who speak another language to share their number names with the whole class. Make your own “Counting 0-10” posters to place beside the ones provided here. All you need to get yourself started is a small group of parent helpers to photocopy, colour, laminate and cut out for you, following the handy step-by-step instructions with each activity. You’ll also need an inexpensive storage container for each activity. Sample labels for each container have been included at the back of this booklet (see pages 72-73). The best containers are those with clear sides and colourful, easy-to-put-on lids! Enlarge or reduce the labels to fit. Then just add up to 30 enthusiastic students, some brief explanations from you and you’re ready to go! I know you’ll have as much fun using these games and activities in your classroom as I had creating them for you.
