1. Cut a 1-inch by 10-inch strip of paper. Use a marker to divide the strip evenly into 10 boxes. Write numerals 1-10 inside each box, starting with 1 at the bottom and ending with 10 at the top.
  2. Write each numeral 1-10 on a small square of paper.
  3. Place the numerals in a paper bag or bowl.
  4. Have your child remove one square at a time and place a clothespin on the matching numeral on the number line.
  5. Continue until all cards are removed.
  6. Each time your child removes a numeral from the bag, ask: How many spaces up or down will you move the clothespin?
