In this interactive resource, students subitize objects to find two numbers, and then use simple addition to find and match the number represented numerically.

Students fill in missing numbers on a number grid. It reinforces students' ability to write numbers from 0 to 20.

In this assessment students will be assessed on one to one correspondence, cardinality, writing numbers and comparing sets of objects. Students will be given two mystery bags that contain up to ten objects. Students will count and record the number of objects found in each bag. Students will be asked to circle the greater number and are asked how they know the number is greater. Teachers will need to prep the mystery bags. This is a whole or small group activity. A rubric and assessment task sheet are available.

In this assessment students will be assessed on cardinality, counting in sequence, counting tens and completing number sentences. Students will be given two mystery bags that contain up to twenty objects. Students will count and record the number of objects found in each bag. Students will be asked to circle a group of ten then complete a number sentence. Teachers will need to prep the mystery bags. A rubric and assessment task sheet are available.

Using ten frames, order the numbers in sequencial order. Click and drag numbers into the correct area. 

In this fun personalized learning lesson, students will practice counting 1-20. They will count objects and match them with the number. They will write numbers to match to pictures. They will also watch upbeat counting videos and answer questions to check for understanding.

This kindergarten math unit contains 8 activities related to kindergarten appropriate number and operations; addition and subtraction.

This activity is played in pairs and gives students practice reading numbers out loud and tracing them.

In this activity, students work in pairs to read, identify, and trace numbers on a 3x3 grid. Students take turns reading a number on the grid aloud to their partner. If the partner agrees the correct number has been read, the first student traces that number on his/her number grid. Then the turn goes to the other student and the steps are repeated. The first student to identify 3 numbers in a row wins the game.

In this interactive resource, students are challenged to find the card in each set that together make a match.

The NC Office of Early Learning strongly encourages incorporating play into the daily routine of each classroom.
Children grow and learn in all developmental domains through their engagement in centers; cognitive, physical, social, and emotional. Authentic learning and meaningful connections are made when a teacher intentionally weaves standards and supports development throughout children’s play. PlaytoLearn Center Posters provide information about common areas of development supported during play centers along with prompts connected to kindergarten standards and NC ELI dimensions.

PlaytoLearn Planning Guides (also shared on #GoOpenNC) provide information on why each center is important to children's development, tips for setting up centers, sugessted materials, actions of an intentional teacher, and common connections children make to content. Although these resources are specifically written for kindergarten, teaching and learning strategies can be applied to many grade levels.

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

In this activity, students can work alone or with a partner to Race to the Top with a 10-sided die or 0-9 spinner and a sheet of 1 inch graph paper turned horizontally with the numbers 0-9 written one in each box. The student rolls the die and write that number in the next box of the corresponding column.

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.

In this assessment task students are asked to sort buttons by the number of holes. They will label how they sorted the groups and then draw a circle around the group with the largest number of buttons. An assessment sheet and rubric are provided.
