Introducing numbers to our kids is a primarily to do before continuing to any mathematics formulas. Starting to introduce it using the number grids would be interesting. By using the grids, you can create a bunch of numbers that are organized and pleasant to see. Because it is for kids, it’s better for you to start with some number list first. In this case, is a number grid of 1-25. Provide the grid template first. Then for the contents, it’s up to you to provide the numbers by your hands writing or printing. Guess it will be effective to use the printed one. You should also consider the size of your grid. If you are going to make it as a card, then it should be tiny but the number should still be clearly seen. But if you going to make this stick on your kids’ wall, then it should have a large size. The benefit of using cards as the media is that it easier to place and bring everywhere. However, using the ones that stick to the wall also seems more proper for learning. It’ll make the number clearly seen in a place. For the printed number grids, you can print them along with the grid template. If you want to make extra, you can also layer it with the interesting picture behind the number card. This one is only proper when you use the card style.
Choose one of your kids’ favorite cartoons, and print it with a high-quality result. After that, you can stick it up with the number grid. If it is too thin and transferred, layered it first with hard paper. This is how you can create a number of grids for your kids. Making a project out of it might be interesting too. To test your kids’ memory, you can provide blank grids. The numbers template is also needed at this time. Cut the numbers template into each item. Then, ask your kids to arrange the numbers on the appropriate list by sticking each of them to the blank grid. If they are already familiar, then continue with the reverse version of placing the number in the grids. If your kids already mastered the numbers 1-25 then you can continue to create three more cards with 25 placed numbers in the grid if the target numbers are 1-100. However, the importance is not on the quantities of the numbers, but on how they can stuck in your kids’ memories because they’ll go to learn more than just numbers.
