2. Remember to write 35 on the first page, 36 on the second page, thirty-five on the third page, and thirty-six on the fourth page and repeat with the rest of the pages.

Picture Books:

1. On the thirty-fifth page put the following on top in the middle of the page: 35(make sure its big enough)
2. Then a little bit below the number 35 put the spelling of the number 35 (thirty-five).
3. Then directly below the word one put a picture of any Thirty-five items like dots, stars, or hearts(make sure it is Thirty-five items. Use can use stickers if you want too.)
4. What is really neat to use for all this is foam letters, letters and pictures.
5. On the Thirty-sixth page do what you did with the thirty-fifth page except use the number 36, the word thirty-six and a picture of 36 items like 36 items like triangles, squares, or circles

Index Cards:

• Place the number 35 on a card, word thirty-five on a card, a picture of thirty-five items
• Also write the number 36 on card, word thirty-six on a card, and a picture of thirty-six 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 11+ 25 = 36 on the other side have a picture of thirty-six items. And the number thirty-sixwritten out.  Try not to go above = 36. Keep it real simple.

Number Sewing:

• Don't forget you can have your child sew the numbers 35 and 36. 

Memory Game:

• You and your child can now play their memory game with the numbers 35 and 36.

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.

Math

• Supplies Needed:  Buttons or Poker Chips, Cup

2. You can do this for subtraction too.  For example: have 4 chips(ask your child how many chips are there) and then ask your child to take away 2 chips and place them in a cup.  Ask them 4-2=?  See if they can figure it out.  How many chips are not in the cup?  

• Math Patterns: Paper, Pen, Crayon

1. Write a number pattern on a piece of paper. For example: 2,4, 6,2,4, _,2,_,6,_,4,6 or 2,3,_,3_,2,_,_2,3.

2. Then on the other color chips write a number from 0-3. For example on the blue chips, write:0, 1,2, 3
3. Turn all the chips over, so the numbers don't show.  
4. Have your child pick one chip of each color.  And let them figure out the number.
5. 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.
