NumberswithDice

A great way to practice with numbers is using dice. Any hobby store has dice you can buy in lots of different varieties.

After you've taught numbers and gone over them a few times randomly (I use a chart), pair up the kids so that they share a desk. (You might want to have every other kid turn around). Hand each group two dice. The partners take turns rolling the dice and saying the number out loud. Of course, partners can help each other if the other forgets. No winners...but the kids LOVE it.

Start with counting up to 12, then say one is the tens column, the other the ones column. (For example, a six on a blue dice and a 4 on a red dice is 64...etc.) You can buy different sided die. (My kids are dying to play with the 30 sided ones!) :-)
