A big focus this trimester in math is mastering the teen numbers: knowing how to read them, write them and conceptually understanding that teen numbers are ten and some more. To work on these skills we play a variety of games where we are counting orally, arranging the digits in order, and a few new math workplaces where these skills are practiced.
We also sing these two songs:

This is a complicated and difficult skill for many kindergarteners so any practice outside of school would be great. This could be in the form of playing counting games in the car, playing teen go fish (you could make a simple version at home), asking your child to count out 18 of something and write the number (maybe they could eat 18 blueberries if they count and write it correctly!) and, of course, finding teen numbers in the world and talking about them is fabulous too!
