| Title | Ideas for Practicing Numbers: Part 3 |
| Body | Here are some more ideas, continued from the last two weeks, for practicing numbers: I went to the dollar store, bought a couple of "dot to dot" books for pre-schoolers/younger kids. Using the pictures that are not too obvious when it is just the dots, I make a copy of the page. I then white out the numbers and replace them with new numbers. But the key is, do not put those numbers in sequential order. For example, instead of the 1, 2, 3 that were once there, I might put 23, 17, 9. It is very important that as you put the new numbers next to the dots you write them down in sequence on a separate sheet of paper. Be sure to label the picture in some way (I use letters, and call them puzzle A, B, C, etc.) I also write puzzle A on the list of numbers in sequence so they are matched up. Once this is done and you make copies, put students in pairs, give one student the blank dot to dot, the other the list of numbers. The student with the numbers has to read them in the target language to his/her partner. The person with the dot to dot has to find the numbers and draw the lines. Cordova, F.

In small groups, I'll have the students roll the dice, first two-at-a-time. One die is the tens column and one is the ones column. The first student to say in Spanish whatever comes up wins the point and they play again. Once we learn the 100's, we just add a third die. Parker, A. Re: Creative ways to practice numbers?

I have a volunteer student choose a number between 1-100 and write it on scratch paper and show it only to me (I make a big deal about what a SECRET it is - I only use the target language here). Then I start with the first student in the first row and ask them to try to guess the number. I have written the number 1 and 100 on the board. After the first student guesses (let's say 30), I ask the "volunteer" in the TL - is your number BIGGER or SMALLER. If the original number is bigger then I erase the 1 on the board and change it to a 30 so the next student can SEE to guess between 30 - 100. I go around the room until someone gets it. Delzer, R.

The other members of the group take turns guessing. The student who has chosen the number says more or less. Barham, C. Re: Creative ways to practice numbers?
