Teen Boards

This material is a math material which helps with the understanding of counting to higher numbers once the child is comfortable with counting 1 to 10. It is another level to abstraction as the child begins to recognize the number with the quantity. It also helps with the sequence of counting and identifying higher numbers. The next steps will guide you in how the child uses the work.
    1-Place the numeral cards 1-9 on the lower right hand corner of the rug.

    2- Take one 10 bar and place it vertically to the left of the ten symbol at the top of the board. Take the 1 bead bar and place it to the right of the 10 bar. Ten together with one is the same as eleven.

    3-Slide the numeral 1 card into the right hand side of the board covering the zero, forming 11. Look at the beads, "This is eleven." Look at the symbol, "This says eleven."

    4-Take one 10 bar and place it vertically to the left of the next 10 symbol on the board. Take the 2 bead bar and place it to the right of the 10 bar. Ten together with two is the same as twelve.

    5-Slide the numeral 2 card into the right hand side of the board covering the next zero, forming 12. Look at the beads, "This is twelve." Look at the symbol, "This says twelve."

    6-Continue this process until the quantities and symbols through 19 have been completed. Read your numbers aloud 11 through 19. You may choose to write your teens using the paper for the teen numbers.

    7-Remove the numeral cards 1 - 9 and places them in the box for the next person. Place the ten bars and the bead bars back into their holders and leave the work ready for the next person.
Along with building new math skills the material helps to build order, concentration, eye-hand coordination, sequencing and comparative skills.
