1. To be able to count and recognize the numerals 1-10

3. To be able to represent the numerals 1-10 on a ten frame.
- We are really working on not only identifying and writing numbers 0-10, but also looking at different ways to form those numbers. In class, we do this through the use of subitizing cards, ten frames, etc. Although it may seem as though we are moving slowly, please know that our goal is to really give the children a strong foundation in number sense. Numbers are beautiful! They are everywhere! Mathematics is one of God's languages. Take a look around at His wonderful creation and see where numbers can be found.
