Math with the Davis Dyslexia Program In this practice we exercise counting with the help of dice and what the dots on the dice mean The children are handed clay which they are to use to make the number of balls which the teacher specifies The teacher writes down on the whiteboard how many balls they are to make from 1 to 6

One dot and the number one

Two dots and the number two

…etc …

Numbers Furugrund in Iceland November 2007

Learning the name of the numbers We noticed that many of the children did not know the names of the numbers So we got them some plastic numbers and started to play with them The children played with dice and the plastic numbers With the numbers we were able to compare them and put them on the right order We talk about: –Which numbers are higher or lower then surden numbers –Which number equals to the number of dots on the dice

Throw the cube…

Is this the one ?

..and then pick up the right one

This number equals the dots on the cube...

Hey! Now I have 41

..and I have 32

..and I have higher than you, I have 133
