Post # 7 - Number tracing task cards

    During my years as a teacher, I have worked with children with dyscalculia and dyslexia. I have been able to receive training from different programs that provide learning opportunities that meet the needs of these students. Most of these programs are designed using the development of sensory experiences when working with children as a common factor. In the shared image we can see an example of a sensory activity that helps to work on the numerical formation and that at the same time can be used in the Math center. It is an ideal activity for preschool students and is fun and entertaining for children. Below I share the link to this activity that I design with which you can help your students work on numerical formation, reinforce fine motor skills and relate numbers and quantities. This resource is totally free, ready to print, and available in color versions and black and white. I hope you enjoy it!!!  Number formation activity  <---- click here!
