Lost In Pizzaland: Thirsty For Knowledge Thursday! Week 17 : January 28 : Number 33 & 34

Thirsty For Knowledge Thursday:

Foam Number Books:

This week add the numbers 33 and 34 to your number books.

Remember to write 33 on the first page, 34 on the second page, thirty-three on the third page, and thirty-four on the fourth page and repeat with the rest of the pages.

Picture Books:

On the thirty-third page put the following on top in the middle of the page: 33(make sure its big enough)

Then a little bit below the number 33 put the spelling of the number 33 (thirty-three).

Then directly below the word one put a picture of any Thirty-three items like dots, stars, or hearts(make sure it is Thirty-three items).

What is really neat to use for all this is foam letters, letters and pictures.

On the Thirty-fourth page do what you did with the thirty-third page except use the number 34, the word thirty-four and a picture of 34 items like 34 items like triangles, squares, or circles

Index Cards:

Place the number 33 on a card, word thirty-three on a card, a picture of thirty-three items

Also write the number 34 on card, word thirty-four on a card, and a picture of thirty-four items.

Add these cards with the your other index word cards.

Remember to add the numbers and words to your key chain card holder

Remember to keep on teaching your kid's math. Here's an example: Write on a card 5 + 29 = 34 on the other side have a picture of thirty-four items. And the number thirty-four written out. Try not to go above = 34. Keep it real simple.

Number Sewing:

Don't forget you can have your child sew the numbers 33 and 34.

Memory Game:

You and your child can now play their memory game with the numbers 33 and 34.

Math:

Remember to do more math with your child.

Ask them questions while you drive.

Show your child how when you cover the second number in a double digit number how it goes 1, 2, 3, 4. For example 10, 20, 30, 40. And how the second number does the same thing: 11, 12, 13, 14. This makes it easier for children to understand how easy it is to figure out what number comes next.

Yarn Math Art:

Supplies Needed: Construction Paper, Yarn, Glue and Scissors : Have your child make numbers from pieces of cut up yarn.

Can of Beans:

Supplies Needed: Dried Lima Beans, Coffee Can, Tape, Permanent Markers

Tape around the rim of the coffee can to prevent injury from metal edges.

Write a number on each Lima bean. Use as many or as few beans as you wish.

Also:

With eyes closed, take a bean from the can and determine if it represents an odd or even number.

Remove several beans from the can, add them up, and determine if the sum represents an odd or even number.

Take two beans from the can and decide which represents the greater number.

Shake the can and dispense several beans. Place them in order from the least to the greatest value or from the greatest to the least value.

Choose several numbered beans from the can and estimate the sum of all the numbers represented on the selected beans.

It's In The Bag:

Supplies Needed: Poker chips(red, white, blue), craft sticks, construction paper(red, white and blue), paper lunch sacks, paper, crayons or markers

If you choose to use construction paper, cut the various colors into equal-sized squares. If craft sticks are to be used, color a tip of each with one of the three color choices.
Provide each child with a paper lunch sack containing a random assortment of colored chips, paper squares, or craft sticks.
Make columns on charts to represent each color. Randomly draw a square, chip, or craft stick from the bag.
On the chart, mark with a tally the color that was drawn from the bag. Put the items back in the bag. Draw and tally again. Do this a total of 10 times.
Add up the total number of red, white, and blue tallies in each column.
Compare each child's results. You can repeat the activity a few times and compare the results.

What Is The Number:

Supplies Needed:14 poker chips(4 one color, 10 another color), black permanent marker

On each chip write a number from 0-9 on one color. For example on the red chips, write:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
Then on the other color chips write a number from 0-3. For example on the blue chips, write:0, 1,2, 3
Turn all the chips over, so the numbers don't show.
Have your child pick one chip of each color. And let them figure out the number.
For example if they have a 2 on the blue chip and a 5 on the red chip, they would have the number 25. If they have a 0 on the blue chip and a 8 on the red chip, they would have the number 08.
