Title:
Count the Room Write Away- Numbers 0-10
Digital Tool/Resource:
Insects! Read, Write, and Count The Room
Web Address – URL:
Overview:

In this learning activity, students will walk around the room with a partner searching for picture cards of various insects. Once they find one, students will count how many insects are pictured on each card, say the number aloud to their partner, and write that number next to the corresponding picture on their recording sheet. This activity can be used after a lesson on counting objects and writing numerals to check for mastery. 

This activity was created as a result of the Resource Development Summit.

  Strategies, Preparations and Variations  
Phase:
After/Explain/Elaborate
Activity:

1. As a review, have students practice counting from 0-10 and have students practice skywriting numerals 0-10 as they repeat the number name before beginning the activity.  

2. Explain to the students that they will choose a partner and walk around the room with their partner looking for insect picture cards.

3. As the students find a picture card, they will count how many insects are pictured on each card, say the number aloud to their partner, and write the correct number next to the corresponding picture on their recording sheet.  

4. The teacher will walk around the room monitoring students as they count insects and write numerals 0-10.  

Assessment Strategies:

The recording sheet will be used as the assessment.

Students will count insects and write the corresponding numerals on their recording sheet. 

The teacher will monitor students during this time to ensure accuracy in counting and as students write the corresponding numerals.


Advanced Preparation:

To access the free Insects! Read, Write, and Count the Room picture cards and recording sheet, teachers will need to click on the link to download.

Teachers Pay Teachers is a free resource. Teachers will need to have a free account with Teachers Pay Teachers to access the resource.

Teachers can laminate and cut out the cards for multiple uses.  Teachers will need to print a class set of the recording sheet and scatter the picture cards around the room for students to find. Each student will need one copy of the recording sheet, a pencil, and a clipboard.  

Variation Tips (optional):

The teacher may wish to provide an answer key to allow students to check their recording sheet at the end of the activity.

For additional practice, students may use the same recording sheet more than once (the day after initially completing the activity) and trace over the numbers with highlighters, crayons, or markers. The teacher may move the picture cards to different areas of the room to challenge the students on the second day.
