When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.

Summary: Ten Hungry pigs is a story about 10 pigs and a gigantic story that they create together. Each pig brings something to add to the sandwich that they want. The story also has a twist in the end when the 11 pig comes along.
Rating: I would rate this book a 5-star because I feel like it would be a very fun and engaging way to help students learn how to count. The book has very bright and beautiful illustration to keep the student's attention page after page. I find the book to be something that all children can relate to because it has many different types of foods that children can relate to. They may have even seen some of the foods at the supermarket.
Classroom Ideas:
The book can be used to help students learn about the number concepts. How to count from 1-10.
As a class, the students can break into groups of two and each person can pick five foods that they can add to their group sandwich. Then draw a picture of their sandwich. The book would also be good for learning about different foods that people like. As a class, we can have each group discuss what is their favorite food to add to a sandwich.
Hi Briana,
ReplyDeleteLike the activity. It teaches students addition, using ten frames and also working together to reach a goal. There are some element that allows for discussion of food and culture.
