Tip Sheet

This document provides tips and activities for parents to help develop children's number sense at home. It suggests watching children play to observe their counting skills, talking and describing numbers when conversing with children, and incorporating counting into everyday activities like grocery shopping, sports scoring, and telling time. Three specific activities are recommended: 1) a backyard hunt to collect sticks and twigs and create number and pattern sequences, 2) playing card games to practice addition by drawing cards and finding the sum, and 3) playing the 21 game as a fun strategy activity to count up from 1 in turns.
