2.     Add another unit bead and place both to the right of the Tile 2 and say: “2.”

3.     Add another unit bead and place all three next to Tile 3 and say: “3.” Continue up to “9”.

4.     Add another unit bead, but say: “10 units are the same as one ten.” And exchange them for a ten-bar.

5.     Place the ten-bar to the right of the top “10” section on the board and say: “Ten.”

7.     Add another unit bead to the unit bead and ten-bar, remove Tile 1 and slide in Tile 2 and say: “Twelve.”

8.   Continue to add one bead at a time, using the appropriate tile to form the number on the board and say the number’s name.

9.   Whenever you add the tenth unit bead, exchange the beads for a ten-bar and slide the bars down to the right of the next section on the board.

2.     Seeing the ten beads on a bead bar and the single units.

3.     The unit beads in the little container.

4.     Watching the quantity of golden bead bars grow from 1 to 9.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Although this activity is recommended for children 4.5 years and up, J tried this only for the first time today at 5+ years old (5Y4M7D). We recorded the videos below for memory. He could say the numbers in Chinese very well now, but we are still practicing saying the numbers in English and Danish.
