Staple the short piece along the bottom and sides of to the bigger one to make a picket chart. Label H T O then staple between letters to make three separeate compartments to hold numeral cards, which should be laminated for durability. Teacher will put set of numerals 0 to 9 in each compartment (don't put zero in h). Children will read the numeral the teacher holds up. Teacher can switch one numeral to change.

Assessment Tips from Old Tom the Turtle
