Math will be so much more meaningful when children move and sing a song each morning. They’ll be oxygenating their brains and learning at the same time!
Chant and Write Cadence (Children echo each line and make "invisible" numbers in the air with their finger.)
Zero is where it all begins- (Slap thighs.)
Curve down around and up again.
Number one is so much fun—
Pull straight down and you’ve got a one.
Number two is easy to do—
Up around down and across makes two.
Number three is simple to see—
Draw two humps sideways and that’s a three.
Number four I do adore—Go down, across, then down some more.
We’ve reached five, now let’s not stop—
Pull down, circle round, put a hat on top.
Number six is easy to fix—Big curve, small loop will give you six.
Number seven is really sizzlin’—
Straight across, slant down, and that’s a seven.
Number eight isn’t very straight—Make “S” then back up for an eight.
Number nine I think you’re fine—A loop on top of a long straight line.
Number ten we’ve reached the end—
Put a one by a zero and count again: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!
*Use other body parts, such as toes or elbows to write "invisible" numbers.
