- The student will be able to compare, order and represent numerals 0 - 50.

Activity

Make and laminate balloons numbered 0 to 50.
Put 1 stripe on balloons with 1 ten (10-19)
Put 2 stripes on balloons with 2 tens (20-29)
Put 3 stripes on balloons with 3 tens (30-39)
Put 4 stripes on balloons with 4 tens (40-49)
Put 5 stripes on balloon with 5 tens.

The balloons numbered 0 - 9 will be solid coloured.

Game: Show me!
Distribute above balloons to class in random order.  Teacher will ask "Show me 0."   The student with this number holds it up and passes it to teacher.  Teacher will ask for each numeral in sequence until she has all the balloons.

Game: Line up!
Hang a rope across the classroom (or along a wall)
Have 51 clothespins ready.  Randomly distribute the numbered balloons.
i) First ask for the following and put them in proper postions on this clothesline. 0,10,20,30,40,50.
ii) Ask for solid coloured balloons to be attached in order (the onus is on the class to notice and repostion any balloons in the wrong postion).
iii) ask for the balloons with one stripe to be placed in order/two stripes/three stripes/four stripes.

Variation: Keep balloons on the line and ask students to remove specific numbers.

Worksheets: Design worksheets in which students fill in missing numerals or give the next numeral in sequence.  These numerals can be on balloons or any theme-related or seasonal items.
eg. 12,13,_,_,16,_,18,_
and 6,7,8,_
26,27,28,_
