LEVEL: 7A
|
DESCRIPTION:
Students count up to 10 pictures and dots individually and as a group. Mastery is
gradual and the eventual goal is for students to be able to say the total number of objects
in each group without counting. Number sequencing is reinforced through the
use of the Magnetic Number Board.
|
|
ACTIVITY:
- Counting
- Number
- Number Dots

|
|
LEVEL: 6A
|
DESCRIPTION:
Students count up to 30 using pictures and numbers. Gradually, students learn to recognize groups of up
to 20 dots without counting them individually. Number sequencing is reinforced through the use of the Magnetic
Number Board.

LEVEL: 5A
|
DESCRIPTION:
Students learn to use a pencil through line tracing exercises, beginning with short lines and advancing to
long curved lines. The curved lines gradually take the shape of large numbers. This develops the fine motor skills
needed to trace and write numbers independently and teaches the natural stroke order required for number formation.
Students also develop their concentration ability and learn to recite numbers up to 50.
|
|
ACTIVITY:

students “carry” in addition questions and “borrow” in questions involving subtraction. Master of Level B
greatly reduces errors in multiplication and division in Levels C and D.

one digit is introduced. Students who have developed good mental calculation ability will not have to write
division steps.
