Number Detective

OH NO!! Mrs. Hall needs to count from 1 to 20, but she seems to have lost some numbers! Can the students help her find them and put them in the correct order?

In Kindergarten we work a lot with missing numbers all year. In the beginning it's 1-10, then 1-20, then towards the end we go 1-120! It's a lot, but this is a way to get the kids more hands on and visually see where numbers should or should not be placed.

Total project cost:$8 (I also did one with the ABC's, so that's where the other $8 went, so $16 for two projects with extra left over)

Materials: Project board
                 scrap paper to spruce it up
                 cut out numbers/letters
                 velcro

First thing I did was cut my project board in half so I could have two "Detective" boards - numbers and letters.

Then I added a little paper for the background so it wasn't boring.

 



Next, I measured out spaces for 20 numbers so it could look sharper. Then I started laying out my numbers without gluing yet.

 

After my numbers where laid out, I picked up eight random numbers to go onto the "lost" side and glued them on a cardstock paper. After, I glued the rest of the numbers down.

 

 

 

All glued down, then added velcro to missing numbers side and velcro pieces to the main 1-20 area and we are set for play!

 

 

Can not wait to use in the classroom!
