Claire is working with Cards and Counters.  She is placing the numbers in counting order across the top of her rug.


Continued use of this material strengthens her counting skills, number recognition, sense of order and understanding of greater than and lesser than quantities.  The placement of the discs also reveals odd and even quantities.
