Can You Moo It? Sing The Number

In this lesson, students play a game: Sing the Number! with the teacher in the front of the classroom. Each slide, the student is prompted to sing a number, given a setup: 1 is quack, 5 is bark, and 10 is moo. So if I ask you how to make 13, one possible answer is: moo, quack, quack, quack. It's a fun and silly way to practice counting on, mental arithmetic, and developing a mental number line in the pursuit of fluency with numbers.
