How many of you have students that struggle with ordering things? I have students that just can't seem to get counting down. We are talking they skip sets of numbers when they are counting. They are also having problems recognizing their numerals. This is normal behavior for a one or two year old. These students range in ages of 4-8 though so we have been trying to come up with some strategies to help them with not only the counting aspect but the number recognition as well. One of the ways that we came up with strip puzzles.
Have you seen these? They are basically an image with a series of numbers (or words) at the bottom that are cut into strips. The child lines up the strips in order numerically or by spelling the word correctly and the image is revealed. I thought this would be a great way to help these students count and begin to order numbers while having fun as well.
While I was creating these I decided to have a little fun and use the same images to create multiple types of strip puzzles for more differentiation in the classroom. Check them out below.
