 I know that some teachers just have children with dyslexia in their English class. It is useful for you to have picture and text cards in hand such as mine. Have these students and the class in general use colors to highlight the number words and the numerals.

School supplies and the numbers worksheet. Students will identify the classroom objects and the quantities. 

Work on the grammar rule of a or an before the students start the worksheet. Make sure that students know that they have to read the first part of a sentence and draw a line to the other part. You can make an example on the board if necessary. Students can check their work with a partner. This kind of worksheets gives your stduent the opportunity to meet the new vocabulary with the known one in a different context.

Students can make connections from the worksheet to their own situation. Present your students with this easy worksheet and the following: The classroom has many school objects that you have to count and write similar phrases. You can make this a group work. Aid your students with a school supply list of words that they already know. The focus is on recognition and quantity of the classroom supplies.

Numbers 1 to 20 Small Cards for Elementary ESL

   This English Language Specialist (ESL) teacher resource is part of the Numbers Unit 1 to 20 for Elementary English Language Learnes-Starters. Right here:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Numbers-1-to-20-for-Elementary-EFL-3640162

Students will feel a sense of progress and achievement as they move from learning the numbers 1 to 10 to the following set.

Numbers Small Cards to develop mathematical competence.

The small cards will aid to improve your students’ speaking and listening ability, it helps the very shy students.  These small cards will also motivate your students to participate in class. Include them in your lesson plan with some of the activities that you can find here. The small are great for your students but they are good for you, too.

Slap the Number card.

Have your students place all the Number small cards on a table. One student will be a caller of the number and the rest will slap the card. The first student to slap the correct card will win that card. You can also fold the word part of the card or simply cut it. Students will have fun as they use the new vocabualry to express their ideas.

TIC TAC TOE.

I got encouraged to create a game that students could use over and over again. Print the x and o, along the title of the game. Glue onto a cardboard and draw the lines as in a 3x3 grid. Place the small cards with or without the captions. Play by teams or by pairs. When a student says a correct number, it will be replaced by a x or o. Keep on playing until a team or students makes a tic-tac-toe.

Another activity is Pass the CD envelope. I am sure that you might old CD case. I love that they are easy to load the small cards into and fun to take out. Place random small cards into the CDs envelopes. Play some music, the one that students love in English. Students start passing the envelope between them with the numbers face down. Stop the music and the students with the envelope have to take out a number card and say the word. If it is correct, that student makes a point for themselves. Continue until the envelopes are empty.

If your students are very young, a little counting will be fun. I recycled some fun foam pieces that I had around the house and glued them onto cardboard cards that I cut as the same size as the small cards. Students can do some number correspondence or matching with the cards. They can also play memory.

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.
