This episode comes from this YouTube video so you can see the games in action! Though some prefer to listen than watch!

Your students may know their numbers to 20 in the figurative counter stage, but can they use them? In this video, you will learn 4 games you can play with your students to help them develop more sophisticated counting strategies.

These games are perfect for students who are past the tricky teens and are starting to work on addition. Since the numbers are small, they can feel confident in their ability to answer, begin to solve problems, and develop a sense of how numbers work together!
