What to Do
1. Display the numbered cars in a large open area of the classroom.
2. Invite the children to select a car and identify the
number aloud.

room, being careful not to bump into anything
or anyone.
4. Have the children return the car
to the starting point, select
another car and repeat the
activity as they practice
identifying numbers.
Teacher - to - Teacher Tip
* Use masking tape to create a car "track" for children to follow as they push
their cars around the room.
Assessment
To assess the children's learning, consider the following:
* Display cars 1 to 5 in random order. Can the children move the cars so that they
are in order from 1 to 5?
* Display the 10 cars in random order at the front of the room. Can the
children move the cars so that they are in order from 1 to 10?
* Can each child identify numbers 1 to 10?
