IDENTIFYING WHOLE NUMBERS

Start with Natural Numbers in another post.  What you will do now is share that Whole Numbers are Natural Numbers plus the number zero.  We don’t learn to count using zero. Explain the zero means nothing. Show a number line at this point.  Have the students use counters (beans, pennies, cubes, etc… under each of the above numbers.  Explain that there are no counters under the zero.  Ask questions to see if student understands the concept of zero.
