Kindergarten: Teaching Teen Numbers

Quarter 2 in Kindergarten is focused on extended student's number sense to 20. Many of the objectives are repeated, just going to higher numbers.

A big concept this quarter will be teen numbers. These tend to be tricky for students. Here are some resources to help teach them:

Here is a great video on teaching teen numbers

Math Wire has some really excellent resources that explain how to attach place value meaning to the teen numbers from the beginning.

Although the Harry Kindergarten Music songs are not super conceptual, they sure are catchy...

Using a double ten frame mat will really help students visualize teen numbers as a ten and some more.

The Math Wire page has some great activities that can be used as centers, small group, or whole group guided practice. I especially like the teen numbers book that teaches them as 10 + ___ = ____

So excited to see our Kindergartners know all about numbers up to 20!
