Before and After-Number Line Practice
So here is something you can do anywhere and it takes less than one minute. This can be done here and there to practice the concept of before and after and to be familiar with the number line. The practice of moving up and down the number line prepares children for subtraction and addition. My five year old does this about once a day and sometimes I throw in the discussion of adding and taking away one number.
This can also be done with the alphabet.
