Number Name Sorting Cards

My third post on sorting cards! I love sorting cards! I think they should be used much more often in schools for so many reasons. You can read about some of them in one of my two previous posts on sorting cards:

Idioms Sorting Cards

Math is a place where sorting cards can be especially helpful. In fact, sorting is a part of math. One reason I think sorting is so powerful in math is that some kids have a lot of math anxiety. Sorting takes away a lot of that anxiety because all of the answers are on the table. Kids can also work with a partner which takes away some stress as well.

In second grade, students are expected to name numbers using numerals, number names, and expanded form. These sorting cards have all three of these forms. These would actually be a great way to introduce these number forms because kids will be able to sort even if they don't know the term "expanded form". Once they have some experience, later lessons will make more sense.

Here is a video of the sort in action.

You can see how much fun these girls are having. Sorting numbers! It is crazy!

You can purchase the cards at Teachers pay Teachers.
