Making a Number Roll for Learning

A week or so ago I'd posted about a great tool that children could use for learning words.  It is since then that I've felt inspired to take it further and share with you another learning tool but this time it focuses on number. 

This number roll teaches children about the different ways a 

number can be identified or represented. 

As you can see, this number roll requires children to do a match up. I designed this one to focus on numbers up to 6, however, you can make it to suit your own child's ability and level of understanding. Children simply need to turn the rolls to match a drawn digit with the number of dots (for subitising) and the number name in the written form, which they are required to read. 

How to make number rolls

1. I began by recycling 4 toilet rolls and cutting them various sizes 
2. Adjusted them to slot into each other 
3. Drew an arrow on the largest roll, a digit on the second, the dice representation of the number on the third and the written word on the smallest roll

I personally think that the order I have made is the best for learning. 

It's a great tool that children can use to help develop their understanding of number. Be sure to give it a go today. 

In case you missed it, here are a few word rolls that focus on making words.
