    You teach mathematics in an elementary school. Some new students from Puerto Rico, Mexico and El Salvador do not speak English but they have been placed in your class because numbers are universal. Even so, the students are struggling. You will work in pairs. One of you plays the part of the teacher and the other is the Spanish speaking student.

    (+ is más, - is menos, = son/es)

    Children start to learn their numbers by counting. At first, they count by ones (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.), then they count by tens (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc.). Practice with your partner by counting aloud. Take turns.

    1. Count by tens from 0 to 100:  0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
