This class will use worksheets and manipulatives such as toys or counters to teach number sense. We will learn numbers from 0-20, including the numerals and the number names, and also learn the names of 2D shapes (square, triangle, etc.). We will also learn to say what number comes before or after a number (for example, what number comes before 3? what number comes after 3?). We will practice counting objects to help learners develop number sense. We will practice adding objects up to a total of 10 (one group of 3 and one group of 6, for example). We will also compare groups (which group has more teddy bears?) and compare size (which triangle is bigger?) Each week's class will have a set of worksheets that the students can do during class.  Each class is a stand-alone class and students can join at any time and be able to follow along successfully.

The class will follow this agenda:
