Targeted Needs of Student:

Tactile way of counting numbers, understanding that each number is one more of another one, connecting value of numbers to writing numbers, representing the value of number through dots

Goal:

To provide students with a tactile way of understanding the value of each number from 0 - 10

Materials Needed:

1.      Worksheets or mats

Explanation/Summary:

Students will use this mat or worksheet to understand the value of each number. Each number on the mat has the correct amount of dots for each number. Students will point each dot and count up to the number represented. For instance, 8 has eight dots in the number. Students could count 1 – 8 by placing their finger on each dot.
