The next step: 1) Children will be given a tablet to take pictures objects or items they observe in and out of the classroom. Through the photographs children will verbally make the connection of the object or item they took a picture of such as, if they have two crayons they will take the pictures and put the number two with the crayons they found. || The teacher, children (peers) and parents are the audience . Parents will be connected to assist their children by helping them connect with numbers in the real world such as, when they are out shopping or playing. Parents can send pictures of children findings via-email to incorporate into their photo stories. The children work will be displayed by photo story which is a program that allow children to sync the pictures with the items along with their voice telling about the item or objects that represents the number. ||
 * Title: ||< Scavenger Number Hunt ||
 * Subject: ||< Number Identification (1 through 10) ||
 * Grade: ||< Pre-K ||
 * Time Frame: ||< 1 - 2 week time frame ||
 * Essential Question || What objects or items can you (children) find of the numbers 1 through 10 (Essential question should be open-ended) ||
 * Summary: ||< Mathematics (numbers) is an essential part of children learning. This activity will help children identify numbers in the real life world. Children will identify numbers in and out of the classroom with the use of objects, people or materials. Children will hunt for numbers within and outside of the school using their tablet to take pictures of the number of items they find. Once children have completed their findings then their findings will be incorporated into their photo story. ||
 * Objectives || * Early Childhood Standards of Quality for Prekindergarten
 * ELE: Early Learning Mathematics (M) 2. Early Learning Expectation: Mathematical Literacy. Children begin to use the language of mathematics by applying emerging skills in representing, discussing, reading, writing, and listening (e.g.,. by translating a problem or activity into a new form; a picture diagram, model, symbol or words). (1) Participate regularly in formal conversations about mathematical concepts and numbers relationships. (2) Begin to record their work with numbers in a variety of simple concrete and pictorial formats, moving toward some use of number and other mathematical symbols.5.Early Learning Expectation: Viewing Images and Other Media Materials. Children begin to develop strategies that assist them in viewing a variety of images and multimedia materials effectively and critically.

 * Tasks: ||< Children will be introduced to the numbers 1 through 10 by
 * Personalization/Differentiation ||< Children will be given a choice to pick the item they choose to display with the number they want to match. An extension of the lesson for children who have mastered the scavenger number hunt. Their numbers will increase to 1-20 to expand on their numerical knowledge. The modification of the lesson for children who may be struggling. Their numbers will be decrease to 1-5. This will help them to go at their own pace. In addition to, pairing the struggling child with the strong child in the scavenger number hunt. I believe in peer collaboration is a good tool for peer teaching. The ESL children will be supported by an interpreter along with visuals of numerical numbers to help them understand in English. ||
 * Real-World Connection || Children need to able to identify numbers for school as well as everyday life. This is an important self-help skill. Children identifying numbers will help them to be ready for Kindergarten.
 * Assessment: ||< Children will use the photo story to display the objects they identified of the numbers 1-10 ||
 * Resources: ||< * Children will use classroom objects, self items, or outside resources such as, rocks, flowers, or household items to identify the one to one correspondence of the number and the item. ||
