Filling up Numbers

Teacher’s tips

Level of education: Elementary School

Age: 06 to 10 years

It is common to see in our day to day sets of elements that are arranged in a certain order, following a logical sequence. The study of this sequence within mathematics is called numerical sequence. Teaching this content is not always easy, but the use of ludic activities such as games can bring excellent benefits in the teaching-learning process. This game approaches one of those mathematical structures that are so important in basic education.

Pedagogical goals

• Explore and recognize numbers;
• Explain that numbers are present in our daily lives and question them in which situations numerical sequences can appear;
• Identify regularities in the numerical sequence to name, read, write, buy and order natural numbers;
• Recognize the characteristics of the decimal numbering system;
• Formulate strategies on numerical writing, by identifying the position occupied by numbers;
• Exercise logical reasoning, finding the missing numbers in each sequence;
• Fix knowledge acquired in the classroom;
