I whipped this up today for a fellow mom at school. There are hash marks on the right and left side of the pages indicating where to cut. Pretty much print on regular letter paper, cut apart, and tape these puppies together. :) (Click on image to pull up 3 page PDF - 1 through 120.)
Say hello again to my buddy Lorien. :) She has been working with me this past year to get ready for Kindergarten.
When I'm first introducing numbers to a child, I do it in several ways. (Again, I'm of the belief that the more senses you experience a concept with, the better you will learn the concept. Additionally, looking at a concept from different perspectives helps with the understanding of the concept as a whole.)
The above image shows the result of just teaching Lorien how to write each of the numbers. She already knew how to VERBALLY count to 10, and could kind of count to 20. (She was still tripping up around 15 and 16 like most preschoolers do.)
Lorien is my best friend's youngest daughter. She turned five in March and is starting Kindergarten in August. I have been working with her during this past year to make sure she is ready for Kindergarten: in the reading department, I think she will be ahead of her peers. She's still struggling a bit with number recognition, and I've been struggling with how to reinforce what she knows.
I've come to believe in the last several years that the more senses you experience a concept with, the better you will learn it. So I decided that making numbers out of Play-Doh would be a good activity for her.
