A number path is an effective counting model for young children. Each number is clearly defined by a rectangle and each rectangle can be counted. A number line can be confusing: students may start counting at zero and then be off by one, or they count the spaces between the numbers and end up between two numbers. The number path provides a very clear model to build understanding and fluency. The chart allows you to create number paths with cards showing multiple representations of the numbers 1-10: numbers, words, dots, ten-frames, and hands. Ideal for developing number sense, subitizing, and making tens. Set includes 50 cards and one 18" x 30" pocket chart. Recommended age 5-8 years
