Number recognition is learning to identify and name numbers and it is one of the first things a kindergarten or pre-schooler will learn how to do.

It is a complicated concept because it involves much more than being able to say a number name. Teaching Number Recognition includes teaching number names, writing and recognising digits, and counting and matching numbers to quantity.

Traditional flash-card activities will help with recalling and naming different numbers. But they don’t teach children all the connections between numbers, digits and quantity.

When planning activities it is important to create a range of experiences for the students that don’t just focus on saying or chanting the names of numbers.

Math programs need to include activities, games and learning experiences that teach students depth.  They also need to apply their understanding in a variety of situations.

It’s important to make sure the activities you use to teach your kids include opportunities for students to develop the full range and depth of understandings around numbers including:

• matching digits, number words and quantity 0-20
• digit formation 0-20
• counting a collection to find how many are in it
• know that numbers are in a particular order that we use to count
• comparing small quantities
• thinking mathematically to solve simple word problems
• developing language & terminology of number recognition

Our Number Recognition Activities 0-20 are perfect Printables for Math centres and can be used in pairs or by individual students.

These number recognition resources are guaranteed to help your kids recognise numbers as numerals, digits, words and quantities and make teaching numeracy EASY!
