Number Names 1 To 10 Mat

Let’s Spell the Numbers

We have a carnival in the school tomorrow, I excitedly told my parents. I was happy as I had no homework to do but I suddenly remembered that our teacher told us that after the carnival, she will be teaching us ‘Number Names’.

I asked my father about the number names as I didn’t know anything about them. My father thought of teaching me with the help of Musky. He asked me to get my Musky kit and Number Names mat. I opened the mat and turned on the Musky bot while my father prepared the controller board. He then asked me to move the bot to different blocks one by one while he kept telling me about the Number Names. He told me that just like everything in the world, numbers too have names. In math, numbers have names in words. He told me about different number names with examples like one sun, two eyes, etc. He asked me if I wanted to sing a song? I said “Yes”!

Let’s sing together:

One for 1 plane flying in the sky.

Two for 2 little birds that fly by.

Three for 3 tiny seashells in the sand.

Four for 4 sticks I hold in my hand.

Five for 5 petals of the flower I see.

Six for 6 bees as busy as can be.

Seven for 7 colors in the rainbow.

Eight for 8 snails crawling so slow.

Nine for 9 squirrels climbing up the tree.

Ten for 10 little puppies on a running spree.

Teachers Note

In the classroom setting, the teacher can show a number names mat to kids. Alongside, the teacher can draw a series of different numbers and ask children to identify. The teacher can then ask the students to name the numbers on the mat. The teacher can also ask the students to identify the number that is one more or one less than each of the numbers on the mat. This activity will help the students practice counting and recognizing numbers as well as learn spellings of each number
