- Pick a number card and write it in words on paper. For example, pick the card with 12 and write "twelve."
- Pick a number card and draw that many objects on paper. For example, pick the card with the number 16 and draw 16 circles.
- Pick a number card and find another way to show it with objects. For example, pick the card with the number 14 and show it with seven pairs of buttons.
- Pick two number cards and compare them using words like "more than, ""less than," or "equal to." For example, pick the cards with 9 and 13 and say, "Nine is less than thirteen."
