Tally Marks Concentration/Matching

Not sure how long the creative juices will continue to flow but for now they are flowing strong.  Here is the latest creation.  I am planning on using it when I do tally marks (I never seem to have enough resources for tally marks).  It can be used as a concentration game or just as flash cards to match.

Composing/Decomposing numbers

Well....I have always seen the importance in representing numbers in different ways...and I have always felt I have done that.  BUT........I have decided that I am going to do an even better job with that next year.  And since I am ready for this year to be DONE, why not go ahead and start on next year.

I have had wonderful luck and found many many things on Pinterest to use during my "Math talks" and many of these show numbers in different ways.  However, I am a person that gets tired of things very quickly and I want some fresh things for next year.  I have attached the file that I made that represents the numbers 1-10 in 8 different ways.  My thoughts....when I introduce the numbers I can show each way (plus more in needed) and as a spiral review I can place all cards in a basket and let the kids pick a card or two, sort into the correct number or representation and then order them by number.  It will be a good jumping board to discussing more, less......and so forth.

Feel free to use, share, change or disregard!!!
