Teaching Numbers Words

Some people make the assumption that because English Language Learners don't know the labels for our number system, they need to learn everything there is about numbers... when really after third or fourth grade, ELL students understand numeracy and one to one correspondence.  If there is a SLIFE/SIFE issue, you might reference this blog post about screening students in math.

So when you go to teach the words for English numbers, I focus on the pattern and focus on speaking it.  I developed a 100 chart that I have them use and fill out - then have them record themselves speaking it aloud.  I introduce the lesson with this video:  

I give students a blank number chart and ask students to fill it out.  I then have them record themselves saying the words while being able to watch me say it and/or watch other number naming videos.  The goal is to get them started learning the pattern.  Once they can read and speak them, we move on to writing them out one through twenty, twenty through forty, forty through sixty, sixty through eighty, and finally eighty through one hundred.  Once I have taught them these words, most EL students are able to do the rest. 

How do you teach numbers as words?
