Counting, Properties of Numbers, and Reasoning about Numbers

Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various visual and tactile approaches (like deciding that a number is odd when you can pair up all the socks in a group except the one that is "odd") address multiple intelligences and young children's need to move.
