Numbers Flashcards to level up Language Acquisition.

As the students come to our class they have quite mastered Number Sense of 1 to 20. Teach your students the core vocabulary to count and write up to 20. Use the flashcards to have the students participate actively in class by answering questions about quantity.
 I created these flashcards to do mainly listening and speaking practice. The main objective will be that students recognize the numbers 1 to 20. 
Ask questions: What number is this?
Students: fifteen!
Teacher: Is this number twelve?
Students: Yes, it is!

Present the grammar structures using the visually appealing flashcards.

Make a grid on the board and write a number 1 to 20 in random order on any flashcard that you choose. Say a number and have the students say the item or say the item and students say the number.
Teacher: number sixteen!
Students: crayon!
Teacher: Is number nineteen a pencil or marker?
Students: a pencil!
Model sentences: Number 10 is a book.
Students: Number 20 is a pen!
Include colors in the next sentences: Number 16 is a green crayon.
Students: Number 13 is a pink eraser.
You can also model: There is a brown ruler.
Students: There is a purple marker.

Introduce the plural form of the words using numbers and school flashcards.Introduce the question words to ask about quantity: How many?

Ask: How many sharpeners are there? Let’s count, one, two, three, four, five. Five sharpeners!

 Emphasize the final S and write it with another color on the board.

Have the students count the classroom objects, such as chairs, tables, pencils or any other that you can think of.

Create a number series. Dictate the numbers and have the students write the numbers they listen on their notebooks. Then, put the flashcards on the board and have the students check if they wrote it right.

Write a number word chain on the board. Have the students circle the number words and place the number flashcards under each word.

Order the flashcards from 1 to 20. Hand in the flashcards and have the students order them on the board. Or hand them in randomly one to each student and at your signal have them stand up and order themselves.

Hand in all the flashcards in random order. At your signal, have the class line up with the correct number order. Then, they step forward and say the number they have on their flashcard.
Student: I’m number twelve.
 
Have the students help sort the flashcards into odd and even.
Teacher: Number 14 !
Student: Even!
Teacher: Say the odd numbers!
Students: one, three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, fifteen, seventeen, nineteen.
Teacher: What is the even number before 10?
Students: eight!
Teacher: What is the odd number after 17?
Students: eighteen!
 
Mix up all the cards, hand one to each student. Designate a place for the odd numbers and another for the even numbers. At your signal, the students stand and go to the designated area and stand in order. The first to it correctly wins!

Have the students organize the flashcards on the board as skip counting by 2´s.
Teacher: Let´s skip count by 2´s.
Students: 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20. ( Point as they say the number)
Do the same as skip counting by 5´s.

Hand in the flashcards to all the students.

Student: You are number 7.( Pointing to the student with the flashcard number 7, next to him/her.)
