One more/less than...
- These two foldables cover a topic in the Kindergarten TEKS, which includes knowing how to identify one more and one less than a certain number.
Materials needed:
- Any color (I used green) of printer paper
- A colored marker (Blue)
- A yellow highlighter
- A pen or pencil
- Scissors
Directions for "One more than...":
- Crease one of the pieces of paper hot dog style (vertical) leaving an inch of room on the side
- Fold the paper
- Draw 8 even lines across the flap, with about an inch in between each
- Cut on the lines, but only on that one side of the paper
- At this point, you should have 9 flaps on the front of your foldable
- Starting at the top, write one more than (2) on the first flap
- Behind the flap, write the answer (3)
- Move down the foldable and repeat steps 6 and 7 for numbers 3-10
- Highlight the word more on each flap
- On the extra inch room on the right or left side of the foldable, write the title (One more than...)
Directions for "One less than...":
- Crease one of the pieces of paper hot dog style (vertical) leaving an inch of room on the side
- Fold the paper
- Draw 8 even lines across the flap, with about an inch in between each
- Cut on the lines, but only on that one side of the paper
- At this point, you should have 9 flaps on the front of your foldable
- Starting at the top, write one less than (2) on the first flap
- Behind the flap, write the answer (1)
- Go down the foldable and repeat steps 6 and 7 for numbers 3-10
- Highlight the word less on each flap
- On the extra inch room on the right or left side of the foldable, write the title (One less than...)
Instructions for the students:
- Start with the first flap, read it.
- Once you have an answer in your head, flip the flap to check it
- Repeat steps one and two for the rest of the 7 flaps
Knowing this information, the students should be able to easily identify which number is one more than or one less than a certain number. These foldables will help them speed up these concepts, and make it easy for them to practice. These foldables will also help them view the patterns of counting, and how counting is just adding one to each and every number as you go along.
