1st Grade Special Education Activities

Jigsaws in which children count the pictures and then join the jigsaw piece showing the corresponding number to the bottom. Showing both numerals and numbers in words.

Why do you need this?

Counting the pictures on the puzzle pieces provides children with valuable counting practice. They learn to accurately count objects and match the counted quantity to the appropriate numeral.

The presence of numerals and numbers in words helps children reinforce their ability to recognize numbers in various forms. They learn to associate the numeral symbol with its corresponding written word, enhancing their overall number recognition skills.

How and when might you use this?

This activity could be used in a variety of ways:

· Math lessons focused on numbers and counting

· Numeracy centers

· Small group instruction to provide targeted support

· Independent work stations

This can be used as a one off activity or for continued use I would recommend laminating this resource and using Velcro to move the jigsaw pieces around.

What is included?

Included are 10 two piece jigsaws with images to count and numbers in words and numerals.
