Calendar Cut Outs Make Practicing Numbers as Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Looking for a way to make math time more interactive?  Grab some old calendar numbers and have your students work in teams to put them in order.  Not only is this activity easy to prepare, it’s also easy to make it fit whatever your theme is, since the numbers are available to go with so many different ones.

Of course, when they’re done sequencing them, you could have your students record their work (ie, write the numbers from 1-30), or practice a different skill and count out the right number of counters (beans, buttons, etc.) to match the card they’ve chosen.  Or, provide your kids with cards that have dots on them and they can match them up (they count the dots and match to the card with the same number on it).
