Counters

 

Masjid

Prayer Rugs

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tip:

Vary the counters your child uses for math (for counting, adding/subtracting) to keep interest. Sometimes use toys, pasta, beans, buttons,  and other items around the house. Also use counters to fit any themes you may be studying. (Example: rocks for nature studies

 

Other Counting Aids

Self Correcting Counting/Addition/Subtraction Board

 

Self Correcting Counting Board for Addition/Subtraction. Student places counters on board. For example 2 + 3. Student places two counters, then counts out three more and adds them to the board. The spot where the counters stop is the answer. Student looks above to see how the number should be written, if needed.

Skip Counting

General Skip Counting	Counting by 2s
Counting by 3s	Counting by 4s
Counting by 5s	Counting by 10s

TJ Tips for teaching/learning skip counting:

1. Work on one sequence (2s, 5s, 10s etc) at a time. Try starting with 10s, then 5s, then 2s.

2. Have student practice orally skip counting each day.

3. Have student write the numbers (multiples) in a sequence daily. You can have student copy the numbers from a chart or strip in the beginning until they have written them enough to know them from memory.

4. Children are sometimes able to skip rote count easily, but don't really understand the concept.  It is important to provide student with opportunity to count objects (especially real life) by 2s, 5s, 10s, etc.  (Examples: candy, toys, cereal, etc).

For beginners, you can lay down a number strip and have student groups of objects above/below the appropriate number. Make sure student is also orally counting as they do so.

5. Once student knows how to skip count starting with 2, 5, 10, etc, vary the beginning number. Example: Skip count by 5s, but start with the number 3.
