In the activity, the pre-k and kindergarten students focus on subtracting numbers 5-9 with the abacus.

This activity helps with number sense and solidifies the number relationships. Students will be able to visualize take away/subtract numbers; they will see items becoming less. This also introduces students to decomposing numbers. This resource also has fun activities, like a game of who wins, color by number, puzzles, and a maze

In this activity, we are subtracting numbers 5–9. This is contained in one column of the abacus and all the bottom beads. Abacus is easy to understand; it promotes tactile learning.

The abacus used has 1 bead on top and 4 beads on the bottom. This activity focuses on the top bead (has a value of 5) and the bottom beads (has a value of 1 for each bead).

All the bottom beads have a value of 1, and the top bead has a value of 5.

This is a great fun fall-themed counting activity that helps introduce one-to-one correspondence to your students. I recommend laminating these for better durability and to be able to reuse them.

Your students can use play-doh, candy, (or any other item you would like to use) to form each number and then count the correct amount of items to show the number they formed.

These are colourful, fun and engaging visual supported task cards designed to support students to work on the skill of determining different objects. The cards come in different level of difficulties from easy to hard and include a variety of subtle and distinguished nuances. The visuals include everyday objects, colours, animals, feelings and emotions, food items, weather, daily routine and shapes.

The direction on each of the cards includes a written direction as well as a visual to represent same or different for non-readers. Students can use clothes pegs to identify the right answer or simply point to the right answer. These cards are great for young learners including preschool, kindergarten, students with autism and special education needs. Print and laminate these cards and you will be able to use them for years to come!
