This game game supports students in counting forward and can be adjusted to support backward counting.

This is a choral counting activity that can be easily adjusted as students learn higher numbers.

This activity can be played by pairs of students to support writing numbers.

In this number tracing activity students create a rainbow number line. This can be a colorful tool with a personal connection to the student that may be used as a reference. It can serve as a visual and motor reminder when reading and writing numbers because the student went through the tracing motion.

This packet contains exit tickets for Kindergarten Cluster 2, numbers 0-10.

Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day.

At the Kindergarten level, a blank copy of the exit ticket should be displayed on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.
