Letter to Family

Dear Family,

I would like you to play a game with your child in which you use your fingers to

add. Have your child show all 10 of his or her fingers. Then show some of

your fingers. Ask, How many fingers in all? For example, if your child shows

all 10 of his or her fingers and you show 7 of your fingers, there are

17 fingers in all. Do this a number of times. Each time, ask your child how

many fingers he or she sees. Ask your child to draw a picture of the fingers

for one of the numbers and to write the number below the picture.

In class we will organize the pictures by putting together all the pictures that

show 11, that show 12, etc.

Your child needs to bring this to school by

(date)

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
