| Title | Ideas for Practicing Numbers: Part 2 |
| Body | Ideas for Practicing Numbers: Part 2 FLTEACH FLTEACH users have suggested a wide range of activities for practicing numbers. Here are more of them, continued from last week’s InterCom: I went to the corner convenience store and "borrowed" a number of blank lottery sheets. Had the kids fill them out and had a mock drawing. They had to tell me what #'s they chose because the lotto machine was broken. Someone had to do the drawing. They had to say the #'s they missed. Then they had to tell me how much they won and how much they were giving us all! Genovese, D. Re: Creative ways to practice numbers? Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 27 Aug 2007). --- I like to make what I call mini-flyswatter on half sheets of paper. I write the numbers (in number form, no words) "randomly" on the paper, and I say the numbers in French. Sometimes I have students call numbers too. They have to find the number before their partner with highlighters. I call it mini-flyswatter because EVERYONE can participate, not just two students standing. I have three basic rules: 1. the paper cannot move. 2. It's a "shush game", meaning they have to be quiet when I call the numbers, as I do not repeat them if students are talking, and 3. No writing on your partner. At the end I have them count up. Lutz, A. Re: Creative ways to practice numbers? Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 27 Aug 2007). --- "Sí, No, Parte": Write the numerals 1-10 on the board, scrambled. Then let the students suggest larger ones to add to the board. Now, choose a number and let the students raise their hand to guess which number you have chosen. If a child guessed a number other than one you have chosen, you will say "no" if there is no part of the number they said in the number you have chosen. EX: They say 10 and your number is 39. (There is neither a 3 or a 9 in ten.) If any part of their number is in your number, you say "parte.” EX: They say 10 and your number is 12 or 30. As the game progresses, children learn some strategies to help them figure out the number and gain more practice saying numbers in Spanish. When a child guesses the number and says it correctly you say "sí" and that child gets to come and select the next number. (1) challenge them to get the number within "x" number of tries or (2) to have no "useless" guesses. For example, if they have figured out that the number has a 5 in it, they don't guess "40.” Winther, B. Re: Creative ways to practice numbers?
