In art we call this using our creativity- coming up with new ideas or looking at the same shape or form and seeing it in many different ways. We are using our imagination to create images in our minds that we draw on paper.) Brief Book Summary (2-3 sentences in your own words): This book counts up to 10 and discusses what children can do with each number What made you make a different picture than your friend? What did you use to make your picture different? Two of his works were runners-up, or Caldecott Honor Books, for the ALA's annual award for picture book illustration, the Caldecott Medal. Supply sheets pre-printed with dots that can be used as eyes or other things with a little direction.

Objectives:• Students will be able to create and identify the different ways they can combine two numbers to equal a sum of 10. Donald Crews (born August 30, 1938) is an American illustrator and writer of children's picture books. In 2015, the American Library Association (ALA) honored him with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, recognizing his lasting contribution to children's literature. Common subjects of his include modern technology (especially travel vehicles), and childhood memories. His stories often include few humans. Also have sheets with a drawing already set up, in case there is a child who might only be able to color.Instruct them to use the pencil to draw a picture that uses some of the dots the way we have been talking about. (You can use all of them, but you don’t have to. Use as many as you would like for your picture.) When done, they can color drawing with markers. Students are at tables communicating about the different combinations of two numbers needed to get the sum of 10. Students are using numerals to represent the different ways they have combined two numbers to equal 10 by recording each combination onto their recording papers. The teacher is moving around, asking questions, observing work, making suggestions, and guiding when needed. The groups will clean up their material according to the instructions. This IWB Maths game works well as part of whole class teaching and learning or as a small adult-led guided group session. Children can write the addition calculation on small whiteboards or show the answer with their fingers. This game helps to consolidate children’s conceptual subitising skills and addition within ten. This game is designed in PowerPoint and therefore easily editable (24 slides in length and fully interactive).

I put them together into a book so that students can look through it whenever they want! They love seeing themselves as authors and illustrators. Sorting is an important skill to learn for beginning math skills. This is a super simple to set up sorting activity and will help kids sort numbers 1 through 10. This printable can help kids with number recognition in such an easy way. With only a few supplies, including paint and q-tips, can help kids dot each number 1 though 10. Students paint the spaces with Crayola Washable Watercolor Paints. This will add form to the item represented.

Want to save more time

If you would like to create your own class book, I am offering it as a freebie! I made it in two versions. The PDF is not editable so you would have to write in your class name, the Word document can be edited to add your name and the date to it.

I thought it was interesting that there were some rhyming elements to the book. I also liked how the words corresponded with the illustrations. However, I do agree with the one reviewer that this book is very simple and even non-logical at times. For example, when describing the number 2, the examples he used were fox eyes and then two separate keyholes as opposed to another thing that natural came with two.

Students will be able to identify patterns among the different sets of addends used to equal the sum of 10. As these emerging writers work/create, teachers circulate about the room adding student names along with short narratives from students about their work explaining what they chose to create and how the art piece achieves this goal. He graduated from Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City, and married another graduate, graphic artist Ann Jonas. Description: Students will discover the various ways they can combine two numbers to equal a sum of 10. Students will also identify patterns among the different sets of addends. From a young age, his talent for drawing was encouraged by his family and his teachers. When he got into high school, one of his teachers became a mentor to him, and personally made sure that he got into art school.
