Kindergarten math · Unit 6: Teen numbers and the number line

Count the marks, not the spaces

What this lesson shows

Fixes a mistake

Numbers sit on the marks. Number the spaces instead, and every number lands one mark too far.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 5 on a line from 0 to 10. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. 0 is on the first mark
  2. Touch each mark
  3. One number for each mark
  4. Never in the spaces

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. Your kid touches each mark and says its number, then writes the missing one right under its mark, never in a space.

If your kid gets stuck

Numbers go on the marks, not in the spaces.
