Number Literacy

    

         For many children have a hard time connection numbers to words when seeing the number in number form and word form. Visually seeing it can be very helpful for young children, who have a hard time understanding the value a number holds, and that numbers and words are equal but written differently. 

         In the photos above, classroom educators allowed for children to find natural objects outside that represent a number, and allowed for them to create their own number board, featuring a visual of the number, the number in number form, and in written form as well, to help them connect numbers to words; numeral literacy. This idea can most definitely be adapted for older children; by perhaps making this a game to match the words, numbers, and visuals, or words and numbers. This strategy is a very unique method that will challenge your child to find objects around them, and also count in order to match.
