Using a Number Grid
NUMBER GRIDS/ROLLING TO 50
In first grade we do a LOT of work with the number grid. The more practice your
child has counting on and counting back with the grid the better they will get at it.
Rolling to 50 is a great way to begin this practice with your child in a fun way. The
game teaches the children to move ahead a square before counting, it helps them get
used to moving both up and back and it teaches them to take turns to boot! I will be
sending home a 100 number grid soon. Take 2 minutes a day to ask your child to start
on any number and hop up 3, 5, 12, 7 or whatever. Do two ups and then ask them to do
two back/downs. Practice makes every athlete stronger even a Brain athlete.
