Learning with Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty Teen Numbers Card game

 To play, one student at a time turns over a card.  If the student gets a number card, he will read the number correctly and keep the card.  If the student gets a ten frame card, she will count using the ten frame, say the number correctly, and keep the card.  If the student gets a Humpty Dumpty card, everyone will sing the Humpty Dumpty rhyme and that student will have to put any cards earned back in the draw pile.  Play continues until all cards are earned.

 

 

Humpty Dumpty Craftivity

The students had fun replacing the rhyming words in the Humpty Dumpty rhyme and completing this Humpty Dumpty craft and writing activity.



You Can't Catch Me, I'm The Gingerbread Man!

Word Families

 we sorted gingerbread men by word families and created a gingerbread man sort book

 Catch that Gingerbread Man!

 

We read maps of our school to locate the missing gingerbread men!

 

 

Could the gingerbread man swim away from the fox?

We did a science experiment to find out that the gingerbread man wouldn't be able to swim away.

 

 

Comparing Gingerbread Man stories

 We compared the characters in the books, "The Gingerbread Man" retold by Eric Kimmel and "The Gingerbread Man" pictures by Karen Schmidt.

 

 

Teen Numbers and Ten Frames

we use mini m&m's to show numbers on ten frames

 

 

 

 

Teen Numbers

Tens Frames

We read the book Fish Eyes by Lois Ehlert and used one pretzel goldfish and 9 goldfish crackers to learn about the tens frame and how it can help us recognize teen numbers.

Buses and Bears

We use a school bus tens frame and teddy bear manipulatives to learn about the teen numbers.

We find out that teen numbers are ten and some more.  We learn that when the bus is filled up that is one ten and if their are bears at the bus stop they are ones.

Tens Frames on the SmartBoard

We use an activity on the smartboard and tens frames with 2 sided counters at our seat to learn more about tens frames and teen numbers.  We use red to show the tens and yellow to show the ones.

The Tricky Teen Chant

We use this poem to help us learn about teen numbers.  I got the idea for this poem from Mrs. Jones' website.  We add this poem to our Poetry Notebook so we can practice the chant at home.

Roll to 20 Dice Game

Partners use a gameboard with two tens frames, one dice, and counters to play this game.  Each student takes turns rolling the dice.  She adds counters to her gameboard to represent the number rolled on the dice.  Play continues until a player fills in both of the tens frames.  This first player to fill in both of her tens frames wins.

Teen Number Humpty Dumpty Game

This is a "crash" card game.  Below is an example of 3 of the game cards.  I created game cards for numbers 11-20 using tens frames and numerals.  I also created some cards with Humpty Dumpty.  This card game can be played with small or large groups.  One player at a time draws a card.  If it is a tens frame, the student counts the bricks on Humpty Dumpty's wall to name the number.  If it is a numeral card, the student names the number.  If a student draws a Humpty Dumpty card, all students chant the Humpty Dumpty rhyme.  If this student has collected any game cards, the cards are returned to the deck. (Hold onto the Humpty Dumpty card.)  Play resumes until all the cards have been played.

Teen Number Powerpoints

I created some powerpoint games to help us learn all we can about teen numbers and tens frames.
