Streets in Infinity Material and Lessons

Confident numeration is foundational to confident computations! Watch children’s self-assurance and joy build as they work with these colorful foam “people” to tell a story relating numbers to neighborhoodsSuitable for E-I and E-II. 

Lesson One: begin with the whole-numbers neighborhood
• seeing whole numbers as families provides a familiar framework
• associating family names with commas (mailboxes) makes reading/writing larger numbers a breeze
Lesson Two: add on the decimals neighborhood
• “single-family homes” change to “1-person efficiencies” in the decimals neighborhood

Both lessons will be sent with purchase.
