Benefits of Displaying Number Posters

Displaying Number Posters in our classroom is something we do without thinking. So lets first looks at the reasons why it is important to display number posters.

1. Visual Engagement: The vibrant colors and appealing visuals on these posters capture the attention of young students, making learning more enjoyable.
2. Multi-sensory Learning: By including different representations of numbers (numerals, digits, words, tens frames, and bundle sticks), these posters cater to various learning styles, ensuring that every child can grasp the concept.
3. Concrete Understanding: Tens frames and bundle sticks provide a concrete and hands-on way for students to understand numbers as more than just abstract symbols. They can physically count and manipulate the objects, reinforcing their understanding.
4. Mathematical Foundation: Using these posters as a teaching tool helps lay the foundation for more advanced mathematical concepts, such as addition and subtraction.
5. Classroom Decor: Beyond their educational benefits, number posters can also serve as attractive classroom decor. They add vibrancy to the learning environment

Why Choose These Number Posters

After teaching in the early years for over decade, I know what the students need and what helps them with their Maths. These Number Posters are bright, colourful and have lots of educational value. On each posters you will find:

1. Numbers: Each poster in the set features a large, bold numeral. This serves as a visual anchor for the young learners, helping them recognize and identify individual numbers.
2. Word Form: The inclusion of the word form of each number promotes early literacy skills. Kindergartners can start associating number words with their numerical counterparts.
3. Tens Frame: Tens frames are a visual representation of numbers in groups of ten. They provide a tactile and visual way for students to understand the concept of place value, which is crucial for building a strong foundation in mathematics.
4. Bundle Sticks: Bundle sticks are another visual aid that reinforces the concept of grouping. These sticks demonstrate numbers as bundles, making it easier for students to comprehend numbers as quantities.

How to Use Effectively

These posters are not just handy for having on display in your classroom, you can also use them for:

1. Daily Review: Incorporate these posters into your daily routine, starting with counting from 1 to 20. Gradually introduce more complex activities like counting by twos, fives, or tens. Discuss odd and even numbers using the bundle sticks.
2. Interactive Learning: Encourage students to touch and interact with the posters. For instance, they can place counters on the tens frames to represent each number. They can do the same for the bundle sticks.
3. Group Activities: Use the posters for group activities like counting races, where students race to identify and touch the correct number on the poster.
4. Math Centers: Set up dedicated math centers with these posters as a focal point. Rotate students through these centers to reinforce number recognition and counting skills. If laminated, students can use playdough over the top of the posters.
