Put out three to four at one time and cycle groups of students through each one for 10 minutes. I change table groups every trimester so that students can work with everyone. Pick one day a week to do them and one day for games. Keep these accessible to students for use during any earned free math time or for extra practice. Play overhead games you might know, like Guess My Number , while students are eating lunch or at the end of the day.
Children enjoy using a special pointer when moving along the number line.
I found that some are just confusing, so I let parents know that we will go over them in class before they get sent home, and that the students should know what to do. Before sending a home link home, make sure they child has heard it explained by reading the directions to them. Also, prior to lesson 12, ask parents for real change for counting money combinations. The change was donated by the parents. It comes in very handy for the children to have real coins to touch.
