Some Ideas:
- Un-jumble all the numbered pegs and sequence them in order from 1 to 10. Using a number chart for guidance. You will find a free printable number chart <here>.
- Point at each number as you count them.
- Without counting the stars, talk about which part of the wheel has the most stars. Which one has the least amount of stars? Talk about number ten being a bigger number (more value) than number 1.
- Count the number of stars in each section on the counting wheel and place the matching numbered peg onto the section, such as the section with 3 starts, peg number ‘3’ onto this section of the counting wheel.
- When all the pegs are attached to the colour, point and count each number from 1 to 10.
