Math Worksheets and Lesson Plans - Writing Numbers

Writing Numbers

An activity I used today seemed to be enjoyed by the children who needed help writing their numbers. It involved the whole class.

I had the children all line up at the blackboard. I chose a child to start the 'game' I wrote the numbers I wanted the children to practice on the top of the blackboard so each child could see. The child would whisper a number to me that he/she has chosen from the listed number and then chose a child at the blackboard to write the number. The child chosen would write the number on the board and the rest of the children would see if the number was written correctly.

The child has all the time he/she needs to get the number written correctly so everyone "wins". After the chosen child writes the number, then, he/she chooses a number and selects a child to write the number. This is done until every child has had a chance to write the number and to succeed. The children didn't want to quit to go to lunch!
