I found this worksheet really awesome because it included both literacy and math at the same time. This student really struglles with number recognition. For this worksheet the student had to match the number with the letter and then group of words spelt a word. The hopes were that if the student recognized that if the word wasn't spelled right than they must have gotten a number wrong. This worksheet may not help a student if the student struggles with letter recognition as well but for this student this was not the case.
While working on this worksheet the student really first struggled with the concept of looking for the letter with the correspondin number. However, once she got the hang of it she really started recognizing numbers that were used multiple times. She was able to use literacy to also work on number recognition. She seemed to struggle more with the numbers in the twenties. She was pretty confident with numbers smaller though.
To further advanced this learner, a next excersise I would doing a number recognition task without relying on letter recognition as well. As well as working with numbers larger than 20. If the student seem to have mastered number recognition you could then move further into advanced math problems such as simple addition.
What would say, more specifically, is the learning objective of this task? What are some ways to make this task even more open-ended (I can think of one obvious way...)?
