Playing the Count the Room Activity
The back-to-school activity is so simple to use and will make learning to count more fun! To begin, you will need to hide the number cards around the classroom.
Then, the students will move around the room with their clipboard, pencil, and worksheet finding the number cards. Once they find a card, they will count the stop signs in the ten frames. Then, they will find the corresponding ten frames on the worksheet and write or trace the number. They will continue this math activity until they find all the number cards.
Multiple Uses in the Classroom
This freebie will make a great math center for the beginning of the year! It could also be used for a small group of students that are working on this math skill, early finishers, a tutoring group, or a whole class activity.
For students that are struggling, you could hide the number cards that they know and leave out certain ones. Some students may be ready to work on all 20 numbers while other students may only be ready to work on 1-10. We have also provided you with 2 worksheets to help you differentiate! One has numbers to trace and one is blank.
There is room to write each number more than once. This gives you the option to decide how many times you want your students to write them.
I hope your students enjoy this back to school count the room activity and that it becomes a favorite of yours! Have a great first month of school!
