1. Tasks in teaching the first ten.

What are the tasks facing the teacher before learning the numbers of the 1st ten in the 1st grade?

1. Introduce children with intellectual disabilities with natural numbers. nine0008
2. To teach how to correlate a finite subject set with a number.
3. Teach how to mark a number with a number and select the appropriate number.
4. To introduce the initial segment of the number series and the properties of numbers in the number series.
5. To teach to determine the total number of elements of the subject set and highlight the correct part of the finite subject set.
6. To teach how to compare finite subject sets and numbers.
7. To introduce addition and subtraction based on operations with object sets, with the property of actions, the connection between addition and subtraction, with the difference between them. Teach writing examples and solving them. nine0008
8. To introduce the solution of arithmetic problems for finding the sum and remainder and with measures of cost and length.

2. Teaching 1st grade students counting.

When learning to count, it is necessary to adhere to the following sequence in the requirements for children. At the first stage, students should be able to count objects by shifting them, at the second - only by touching them, at the third - counting objects with their eyes, at the last, students must mentally determine the number of objects. nine0003

In the methodology of mathematics, there are two ways of forming numbers: monographic and computational. The monographic method is based on the perception of a group of objects, and the computational method is based on counting by one. In the formation of numbers from 1 to 5, it is necessary to use the method of perceiving a group of objects, numbers more than 5 - a computational method. Let's consider what patterns a teacher should take into account when studying numbers from 1 to 5. verbally, the child can count up to 5, but has no idea about the number. nine0003

Secondly, in notebooks it is necessary to present the subject content of the number broadly. For example, stick a picture with the image of one cherry, two. Stick two or three mushrooms, etc. Work should be done on a number, not a number. (See Appendix 1).

Thirdly, in the lessons, when studying numbers from 1 to 5, it is necessary to carry out speech exercises of mathematical content. For example:

1. “Our Tanya was subtracting with the kids. Subtraction how to understand? Something must be taken away. Arishka has nuts, Mariska has a nesting doll, Andryushka has a new ball. In the yard and howling and crying. The answer came out: there are toys - there are no girlfriends! nine0008
2. “Seryozhka fell into the snow, followed by Alyoshka,

And then Irinka, followed by Marinka,

And then Ignat fell. How many guys are in the snow? (5 five)

In this speech, the task is to count the names of children. And in the next one - how many animals came to visit:

3. “Alenka is visiting a cockerel in boots,

A hen in earrings, and a cow in a skirt,

In a warm sheepskin coat, a drake in a caftan,

Duck in a sundress. nine0003

3. Didactic value of S. Marshak's works in the process of teaching mathematics.

In the process of teaching mathematics, the didactic value of S. Marshak's works is high. The cycle of poems "Merry Account" is popular in schools. In general, this work can be used when all the numbers have already been studied, but each part of the cycle gives the teacher certain entertaining material about the numbers and numbers being studied. The couplets containing descriptions of figures come first, but of course, these are artistic descriptions for which the poet was looking for exact comparisons:

“Here is one or one, very thin, like a knitting needle.

And this is the number two, look at what it is,

The deuce arches its neck, dragging its tail behind it.

Three - the third of the badges, consists of two hooks.

Three is followed by four, the sharp elbow of a bulge.

And then the number five began to dance across the paper,

She extended her handle to the right, her leg sharply bent. .. nine0003

Here is a seven - a poker, it has one leg.

The figure eight has two rings, without beginning or end.

This is nine or nine, a circus acrobat.

If you stand on your head, nine will become the number six.

A number like the letter o is zero or nothing.

Round zero is so pretty, but knows nothing.

At the end of the first part of the cycle, S. Marshak suggests:

“Write these numbers in order in your notebook,

I'll make up a story for you about each one now.”

Then there are poems about those numbers that are indicated by these numbers. S. Marshak is looking for an accessible and memorable image for each number: two sisters - two hands, three colors are at the traffic light, etc. Children can continue to search for single and paired objects of those that have 3, 4, 5 or more elements, composite parts. With all this, "Merry Account" is not just didactic poetry. The poet seeks to develop the imagination, gives tasks for ingenuity. So, for "5" he composes a riddle:

“In front of you are five brothers.

At home they are all without dresses,

But on the street, but every coat is needed.

There are no answers in the verses. The children must independently determine which brothers they are talking about. The teacher asks to show the fingers of the right, then the left hand, to show how the “brothers” are friends, how clean they are. About zero S. Marshak composes a fairy tale. Many of the poet's funny poems help develop counting skills. In mathematics lessons, you can also use the poem "Baggage". "What did I buy?" can become material for direct counting up to eight:

“I went to my grandmother's garden and found a penny there.

What did I buy? A hat, a cap, and in addition a rag, a piece of wood,

A spoon, a bowl, a bowl, a watering can - I bought everything for a penny”

And much more from S. Marshak's work is used in mathematics lessons. A teacher of an auxiliary school must constantly remember that it is possible to ensure the conscious assimilation of mathematical knowledge only through subject-based practical activity. The study of each number of the 1st ten occurs in a certain sequence. Consider each stage of work on any of the numbers of the 1st ten. nine0003

4. Stages of work in studying the numbers of the 1st ten:

sticks, nesting dolls, etc.). "How many yellow circles are there?" the teacher asks, pointing to the three circles. The students count and answer: “There are three circles here.” - “I put one red circle, how many circles are there in total? How did 4 come about? How many yellow circles were there? How many red circles did you put in? How many circles became after that? nine0003

Then the formation of the number 4 on other manuals is considered: “So how did the number 4 come about? To what number should one be added? With this question, the teacher leads students, based on the consideration of specific cases of the formation of the number 4, to a generalization: the number 4 will turn out if 1 is added to three. Not all students in grade 1 can make this conclusion on their own, but some of it is already available.

Then the teacher shows that if one of the four circles is taken away, then three circles will remain. The students were convinced of the new way of forming the number 3. The formation of the number is fixed by various exercises: “Set aside 3 yellow bones on the accounts. Add as many red pips to make 4. Glue or color 3 squares blue and 1 green. How many squares did you get? Circle 3 cells with a blue pencil. How many cells still need to be circled to make them 4? Next, students learn to count the elements of subject sets of four elements. Practical work on the account can be revived with an artistic word. At the same time, we regulate the mental activity of the child in the classroom, increase the strength of knowledge, and this allows them to better understand the surrounding facts and phenomena. For example, children reinforce the number 3. They play loto, make up problems, count, etc. The students are tired. It is necessary to switch their attention to more interesting activities. For example, you can offer "savvy" with a bright illustration:

“Three wise men in one basin set off across the sea in a thunderstorm.

If the copper basin were stronger, my story would be longer.”

After that, the teacher asks: “Why is the story about the three wise men so short?” To consolidate the concept of number, it is very good to use various joke verses that require an answer:

“A family of macaques lives in the zoo, they don’t want to sit still.

Try to pacify such rascals, although there are not many of them, but only….” (three).

Children answer in chorus, looking at the picture of funny monkeys. To get acquainted with the number 4, you can use the following quatrains:

“They gave the elephant a shoe, he took one shoe

And said: “We need wider ones, and not two, but all ... ..” (four).

You can give the task of naming animals that have 4 legs. In this way, the life experience of children, their ideas are clarified, visual memory is trained, the right number is remembered. Questions "Why?" contribute to the development of logical thinking. For example:

“The table has four legs, two on each side,

But these legs do not need boots and galoshes.”

"Why?" Who else doesn't need shoes on their feet?

A riddle can serve as a good relaxation in the lesson. It provides rest and pleasure, at the same time contributes to the development of such thought processes as analysis and synthesis, comparison and comparison. For example, introducing children to the number 5, we use the riddle of S. Marshak. Fixing the number and counting can be carried out in games that require a certain coordination of movements when counting. An example of such a game is the game "Mice":

“The mice came out to see what time it is.

One, two, three, four, the mice pulled the weights.

Suddenly there was a terrible ringing, the mice ran away.

On the count of one, two, three, four, 2-3 students take four steps forward at the same time, grab the rope and pull, and when they hear the ringing, they scatter.

Game material with various illustrations, interesting tasks, funny riddles, sharp ingenuity with their extraordinary expressiveness, brevity, simplicity and sonority, freshness of the artistic word serve as a source of strength and inspiration for children in their work, play a huge corrective role in the development of thinking. nine0003

B) designating a number with a number and writing numbers

After getting acquainted with the formation of a number, it is necessary to teach children to designate this number with a number, both printed and capital. The figure is carefully considered, its elements are distinguished, and objects are looked for with which the figure can be compared. This is necessary in order for students to better remember the image of a number, not to mix it with other images of numbers.

The number is placed under the corresponding set of objects, under the picture with the image of objects corresponding in quantity to this figure. By studying numbers within 10, students should learn to write all the numbers, be able to write down arithmetic operations, and make notes in notebooks correctly and accurately. Writing numbers is a rather complicated process. During the propaedeutic period, the teacher should find out well the possibilities and features of writing numbers by each student in the class. For students who have a particular writing process for one reason or another is difficult, it is necessary to prepare additional aids in advance (plywood or plastic numbers for tracing, patterns with slots). nine0003

Students prepare for writing numbers in the process of special exercises during the propaedeutic period: they put dots in the corners of the cells, trace various stencils, patterns, circles, hatch geometric shapes, connect lines by dots, first in horizontal, then in vertical directions, etc. After such special exercises, students move on to writing numbers.

The methodology for introducing students to the writing of numbers and conducting appropriate work in the classroom and in preparation is as follows:

1. Display handwritten sample.
2. Teacher showing the number on the blackboard.
3. Outline of the number pointer model.
4. The letter of the figure is in the air.
5. Writing a number on the blackboard by several students.
6. Letter of figures in notebooks according to the model.

A sample is given for all students: 2-3 digits are written down. For individual students, numbers are written with dotted lines or thin lines, and they only circle them. Some students are given 2-3 reference points. If a student has significant motor impairment, small movements of the fingers are difficult, children cannot write numbers in one box. Such students are allowed to write numbers in 2 cells. Students who do not navigate the page of the notebook, do not follow the lines when writing numbers, need to highlight the lines with a colored pencil. Individual students can only trace numbers according to a pattern or stencil. nine0003

For children with mirror writing, it is recommended to use the following techniques: feeling a number made of sandpaper, tracing this number with a finger, writing a number with a finger in the air, then with a pencil, writing numbers on a pattern, on a line pattern or on starting points.

First, it is suggested to write the figure 2-3 times, and only after checking how the students wrote, they are allowed to write further. It is useful to associate exercises in writing numbers with counting, so that children learn from the very beginning to distribute their attention - to engage in writing and counting at the same time. In order for students to remember the number well, you can invite them to put it together from sticks, threads, twine, mold it from plasticine, etc.

There should be a table in the classroom with the correct spelling of numbers and indicating the direction of writing. When introducing children to numbers, it must be remembered that a number is an abstract sign. It cannot evoke emotions in a child. A mentally retarded schoolboy does not pay much attention to it, does not experience knowledge about it. But if the teacher evokes emotions through figurative comparisons, the figure is assimilated much more firmly. Associating a figure with a number, one must first select such objects for counting, which in nature, in the environment, are always present in a certain quantitative aggregate. They are the most accessible and close to the child's imagination, associated with the life experience of the child. By giving them verbal expressiveness, we evoke a sense of satisfaction in the child, although he, in turn, sometimes does not know about it himself. nine0003

C) ratio of number and number

Special school students do not associate numbers with numbers at first. Awareness of this ratio requires numerous exercises of a diverse nature, for example:

1. To a given set of objects, select the desired number (4 bunnies, each was given a carrot. Only 4 carrots. Show with a number how many carrots are taken. Check, count together in chorus, attach the number 4 ).
2. Choose an object set for the number, for example, Dunno shows the number 3, asks to show the same number of balls, pictures or other objects. Children show pictures with three balls). nine0008
3. Use the game "Find the right pictures". Students receive boxes with a set of pictures (5-6 pictures) and a number. To the figure, they must match all the pictures with the corresponding number of objects.
4. Game "A number for each picture". Students receive a set of pictures that show a different number of objects (1, 2, 3, 4) and numbers. For each picture, the student must choose the correct number.

D) comparison of sets and numbers

As the number of the first ten is studied, the teacher not only introduces students to the place of a single-digit number in the natural series of numbers, but also teaches them to compare this number with the number next to it, as well as with other numbers . For example, already when studying the number 2, the teacher shows the students that 2 is greater than 1. First, this comparison is shown on subject sets. For example, in the top row there is one circle (square, house, toy), and in the bottom row there are 2. We ask where there are more circles? Where is less? Why? Which row has an extra circle? Which row is missing circles? What number will we put near one circle? What number will we put near two circles? Which number is greater than 2 or 1? Which number is less than 2 or 1? We suggest that children first show on circles, and then on object sets, this figure. nine0003

It is necessary to give tasks to equalize the number of subject sets in the upper and lower rows.

Students work during this period mainly with sets of objects, establishing a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the sets: they not only find out where there are more (less) objects, but also determine how many extra items are in the larger set and how many of them are missing in the smaller one. At the same time, they compare the numbers that are a characteristic of these sets. First, two adjacent numbers are compared, for example 4.5, and then any two numbers. For example, sets of apples and pears are compared (apples - 4, pears - 5). Pupils lay out pears in a row, and under each picture with pears put a picture with an apple, i.e. A one-to-one correspondence is established. One extra pear - more pears, one apple is missing - fewer apples. So 5 is greater than 4 and 4 is less than 5.

Students then compare numbers, abstracting away from specific sets. We ask which number is greater: 4 or 5? How many extra ones are there in 5? How many are missing from 4? What needs to be done to equalize the numbers? Students should be well aware that all the numbers preceding the given number (those that are in the number row in front of the given number, earlier than it, closer to the beginning of the number row) are less than the given number, and all subsequent numbers (those that are after the given number in the number row , further from the beginning) is greater than the given. The use of an illustrative table depicting sets and numbers, as well as a "numerical ladder" will help students compare the numbers of the segment of the number series they know. nine0003

Relationships between numbers are written as ratio signs (“greater than” , “less than” , “equal to” ). The number 10, which ends the study of the first ten, differs from the previously studied numbers. Students of the 1st grade can be given only one way to form this number: 9 + 1. The number 10 is denoted not by one, but by two digits 1 and 0. It is appropriate to introduce the concepts of “one-digit” and “two-digit” numbers. Single-digit numbers are written with one digit, and two-digit numbers with two. In this case, the concepts of "number" and "figure" are fixed. nine0003

All the observations described above and the practical comparison of the elements of the two sets form in children a stable understanding of the quantitative relationships between numbers. The number 5 in the mind of the child becomes greater than 4, not only because it stands farther away from one when naming it, but also because there are more units (elements) in this number than in the number 4.

There is no need to seek from children in the first grade immediately the correct answer to the question: “How much more is 5 than 4?” and vice versa. Before answering this question, children must visually and repeatedly see the inequality of these two compared sets and learn to practically establish equality. So gradually, on a specific material, the numbers studied by children are compared: 2 and 3, 3 and 4, 4 and 5, 5 and 6, 6 and 7, 7 and 8, 8 and 9, 9 and 10. Knowledge is fixed on different groups of objects so that children are convinced of the constancy of the relationship between numbers (2 fungi, 2 Christmas trees, etc. Always less than 3 fungi, 3 Christmas trees, etc.).

Didactic games in mathematics lessons

"Living Corner"

Didactic goal: familiarizing children with the method of education numbers while fixing the spatial orientation, concepts "more less".

Teaching aids: study of animals. nine0003

Content of the game: the teacher says: “In our living corner rabbits live: gray and white, rabbits gnaw on carrots. How many rabbits gnaw carrot? (two, the answer is fixed by showing the number 2). Name the rabbits nibbling carrots? (gray and white). Another rabbit ran up to them. What changed? (there are more rabbits) How many rabbits eat carrots now? (three, the answer is fixed by showing the number 3) List them (one white and another white, and one more grey, three in total). Which rabbits are more white or gray? (white) Why are there more of them? (there are two of them, and two is one and one). Why 2>1? (two goes with the count after number 1). The formation of subsequent numbers can be considered similarly. nine0003

"Best counter"

Content of the game: teacher on The magnetic modeler places from 1 to 10 drawings by sectors, respectively. Opening each sector in turn, the teacher invites the children to count the number drawings and show the correct number. The one who counts first is called the best. counter. Then the teacher shows the numbers in a row, and the students - the corresponding number of drawings in the sectors of the circle. As a result of the game, the teacher opens 2 sectors, offers to compare the number of drawings in them and determine where the items less and by how much. nine0003

Clap

Content of the game: the teacher magnetic modeler places from 1 to 10 drawings in sectors. Opening by turns sector by sector, offers to count the number of drawings and signal to clap as many times as there are open drawings, and show the desired number. (The teacher sets the rhythm of clapping).

"Numbers running towards each other"

Didactic goal: getting to know the composition of the number 10. numbers from 1 to 10 in order and arcs to show two numbers that run towards each other, forming a total of 10. Then he asks to write down examples to add to these numbers. nine0003

For example:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

0 +10 = 10 - 10 + 0 = 10

1 + 9 = 10 - 9 + 1 = 10

something interesting you noticed when making examples? Children answer that the numbers in the same places on the right and left in the number row, add up to the number 10 "

" Mathematical relay race "

Didactic goal: Familiarization with the formation of numbers from ten and units.

Teaching aids: 10 circles and 10 triangles from attached to the mathematics textbook for grade 1.

Content of the game: the teacher divides the class into 3 teams in rows and conducts a competitive game. The first student from the first team illustrates the number using circles and triangles, the second from the same team calls indicated number, the third - its composition, the fourth shows the number on cards.

Similar exercises are performed from the second and third teams. The team that makes no mistakes or makes fewer mistakes wins. number. nine0003

When studying the numbering of numbers within 100, the task is to to learn how to count and write numbers. Establish communication between oral and the well-known game Silence will help with written numbering.

Content of the game: the teacher illustrates on the abacus or cards two-digit numbers, and students designate them using split numbers and show silently to the teacher or write them down in a notebook.

“How did Seryozha get confused?”

Serezha learned to write numbers within a hundred. One day in the evening, father put 4 sticks on the left and one dozen on the table in front of Seryozha connected sticks on the right and asked the boy to write how many sticks in total. Serezha wrote the number 41. Did Serezha write the number correctly? How did he reason?

"Gifts of Petrushka"

Didactic goal: to introduce the composition of the number 5.

Teaching aids: illustrations of Petrushka, Dunno and Merry Pencil; balloons cut out of colored cardboard. nine0003

Content of the game: the teacher announces that he will visit the lesson Petrushka came with balloons and his friends came with him. Dunno and Cheerful Pencil (illustrations depicting fabulous heroes). Parsley decided to give balloons to Dunno and Cheerful Pencil. How is he can you donate them?

Children list the possible composition of the number five and illustrate at the blackboard and then write in a notebook. At the end of the game, the most active children are encouraged. nine0003

“Decorate the Christmas tree with toys”

Didactic goal: getting to know the composition of the number 10.

Teaching aids: drawing a Christmas tree; small illustrations Christmas trees for students.

Content of the game: the teacher says that the New Year is coming soon. And everyone will decorate the tree. And you and I also need to decorate the Christmas tree. Our tree is mathematical. A poster with a Christmas tree is hung on the board. At the top is a star number 10. But not all branches are decorated with toys, you need to hang the missing ones balls so that on each tier the sum of the numbers is 10. Children go to board and decorate the Christmas tree. The teacher should encourage weak children. nine0003

"Chain"

Content of the game: teacher puts for each row (team) on the stand of the board cards depicting numbers of the form:

Students of each row (team) count the units of each category and call the illustrated numbers in a chain (first, the student of the first, then the second and third teams). Then the teacher puts other cards, illustrating the numbers of the second ten and the students call them in a chain. A game continues in the same way. nine0003

The team that makes the fewest mistakes wins. formation of two-digit numbers. To sum up the game, the teacher notes in table with asterisks the correct answers of students.

"Controllers"

ten.

Content of the game: teacher divides the children into two teams. Two controllers at the board are watching the correctness of the answers: one - the first team, the second - the other team. By at the signal of the teacher, the students of the first team make several rhythmic inclinations right, left and count to themselves. On a signal from the teacher, they call the number in chorus slopes of the first team to a given number and keep score to themselves (for example, 6 - added, 1.7 - added 2.8 - added 3). Then they call a number completed slopes. According to the number of slopes performed by students of groups 1 and 2, and called the composition of the number. The teacher says: “Eight is…”, the students continue: "Five and Four". Controllers show green circles in their right hand if agree with the answer, red - if not. In case of an error, the exercise is repeated. Then the teacher offers the children of the second team, on a signal, do several squats, and the students of the first team complete squats to a given number. It is called the composition of the number. The composition of numbers based on cottons. nine0003

This game not only systematizes students' knowledge, but also carries elements of physical unloading, tk. uses exercise.

How many sticks are in the other hand?

Didactic goal: consolidation of knowledge of the decimal composition of two-digit numbers.

Teaching aids: a set of individual sticks and bundles of sticks.

Content of the game: The summoned student takes a bundle of sticks into one hand, and individual sticks - in the other hand and shows them to the class. Children guess their number and show a card with the corresponding number. nine0003

Then the task becomes more difficult: you have to guess how many individual sticks in hand, if in the other - a bunch, and make an example for addition. For example, a student took 15 sticks by placing a bunch of 10 sticks in his right hand and 5 individual sticks to the left. Children make an addition example 10 + 5 = 15

“Claps”

Purpose of the game: fixing knowledge of the decimal composition of two-digit numbers.

Teaching aids: set of specific sticks and bundles sticks. nine0003

Content of the game: The teacher calls two children to the blackboard. The student on the right indicates units, and those on the right indicate tens. Teacher calls a two-digit number, the right student claps indicates the number of units in this number, and the left one is the number of tens. All other students play the role controllers. They honk if the decimal composition of the number is shown by the students wrong.

Knock-knock

within 20.

Teaching aids: the board shows a table with two digits:

Content of the game: the teacher silently taps the pointer once every tens place and several times in units place. Children listen carefully and show the teacher the corresponding number on the number card. nine0003

To strengthen counting skills, you can offer the game “Listen and count" :

Content of the game: each of the students has a set of cards with numbers from 1 to 10. The teacher has a stick with which he hits some an object that makes a loud sound a certain number of times. All students must immediately raise and show a card with a number corresponding to the number blows.

It can be agreed that the players, having heard blows, should raise a card with a missing number, for example, up to ten (there were three hits, pick up the card with the number 7). Then another rule is set: show you need not a number corresponding to the number of strokes, but two adjacent numbers - a smaller one and more. You can offer another version of the game: the teacher first hits with a stick in one subject 8 times, and in another - 3 times. This means that students must subtract three from eight and show a card with the number 5. The game requires silence and attention, so you can offer the guys, listening to the number of strokes, close your eyes. nine0003

"Name the neighbors of the number"

This game allows you to each number of the first hundred should not be considered in isolation, but in connection with the previous one and the next number.

Teaching aids: ball or two balls - large and small (or different colors).

Content of the game: the teacher throws the ball first to one, then to the other to the participant of the game, and those, returning the ball, answer the question of the teacher. Throwing the ball the teacher calls a number, for example twenty-one, the player must name adjacent numbers -20 and 22 (necessarily first smaller, then larger). nine0003

Another, more complex version of the game is also possible. Returning the ball playing must first subtract one from the number named by the teacher, then add the resulting difference to it. For example, the teacher called the number 11, and the player must name the numbers 10 (11-1=10) and 21 (11+10=21).

This game can be played with two balls: a large one and a small one. (or different colors). When the teacher throws a big ball, the respondent must, to for example, add 9 and return the ball back, and when it is small, then subtract 3. Here, children not only count, but also develop attention so as not to confuse actions. nine0003

“Who can count faster?”

The game develops vigilance, Attention.

Content of the game: two identical posters, on which the numbers are written in random order. For example, from 61 to 90 (from 11 to 30, etc.). For example, you need to name and indicate on the table by in order, all numbers from 61 to 90. You can compete with two teams, one at a time. person from each. Then the winners compete among themselves and is determined best counter. nine0003

Poster example:

The following games can also be offered at the consolidation stage:

Riddle

Didactic goal: fix the numbering of numbers within 100; decimal composition of the number.

Content of the game: the teacher makes a riddle "Silver drank a fork in the sky. Who is brave with a thread of white sky sewed, but hurried: fluffed the tail of the thread? Replace the number with tens and ones and find in the table letters. Read the word and write it down. nine0003

Answer: pilot.

Gnome

Didactic purpose: to consolidate the ability of children to replace a two-digit number with the sum of its bit terms.

Contents of the game: Help the dwarf find his way home. Where go: forward or backward - this is what the numbers say. Replace each number with the sum bit terms and find the letter in the table. Make up a word, read it.

Answer: forward.

"In order of numbers"

Didactic goal: consolidation order of numbers in counting.
