Vintage math: 1-10, NOT Grubes, lots of pictures, slanted script and/or tally marks?

I'm looking for some K/1 vintage math. I need a bit more for the numbers 1-10.

 

I do NOT want Grube's based math that includes multiplication, division, and fractions.

 

I would like illustrations, a focus on recognizing numbers, slanted script figures and/or tally marks would be a plus.

 

Pages 11-19 of Number Primer are nice, but there is no page for "10"

The Teacher Manual of Olney's Primary has some good instructions for teachers, but I'd like a few more pages to print for the student.

Eclectic Manual is good, but again, I'd like a little something to print, especially for the number 10.

 

I want to save Wentworth's Work and Play for year 2, and focus more on number recognition. The slant figures are nice, though, for students using Don Potter's cursive-first handwriting.

And Heonshel's instructions on page 13 are good, but, alas, I still need something like Number Primer.

Not vintage, but MEP year 1 starts with tally marks and dots and then teaches how to write each number. But it may be a LOT more than you want since many pages are spent on each number and on other things alongside other than just the number (like "which is longer" and lots of greater than less than problems with pictures).

I just poked around MEP. I don't know if I'm missing anything. If there were pages mixed in, I could just suggest printing the specific pages needed. I didn't see anything like the pages in Number Primer. Can anyone link me, if they have seen something there?

They're not like the ones in the number primers - they're covering the same information, but in a really different way at a different pace. I'm not sure if it will fit your program or not as a result. For example, if you look at the second section of the practice pages for kids, it starts with the pages about the number 3. First, you learn to write it. And you identify groups of three and practice previous numbers. And you practice with tally marks. And you color. And there's some number line work. And you write addition facts with 3, such as 1+2=3. But it's four whole pages of working on the number 3.

Consider looking at the sorting with strings lessons in CSMP. They also have picture books with the strings and dots which are included in the lessons occasionally. I wouldn't recommend using the books before kids had done any of the lessons as an introduction. http://ceure.buffalostate.edu/~csmp/CSMPProgram/Storybooks/index.html (A couple of them are not so good, but dd liked the '81 Roses.') This is the only style maths my daughter is really achieving anything with so far.

I don't think this will work. The pages are mixed topics, and the handwriting is vertical not slanted.

 

I just need a few pages. Just a little something, to focus and supplement all the hands on. And I don't want the student to see any vertical handwriting instruction; that will be too confusing.

Some of that might be useful. Thanks!

Oh, btw, I realise my post above is not answering your question at all. I had been meaning to mention it to you though and this thread reminded me.

 

We often find out about things we were not asking about, when we ask about something else. Your link takes care of another issue–math literature. I appreciate that.

 

Hopefully, someone will remember some obscure vintage book with a few nice pages. I have enough, but, just a little bit more would be better.

Just in case anyone else is looking for the same thing.

 

Towne's Primary Arithmetic

Pages 5-7 are good.

And maybe some of the beginning pages of Franklin's Primary. I know this series gets Grubey later on, but I think these pages might be okay.

Would the Franklin Primary Arithmetic ( by Edwin P. Seaver, has picture of frogs on the front) work?  Some dots/tally marks, some slanted writing examples, and it does not intro all four operations...

 

The first twenty pages deal with 1-10...

 

Sorry, I am unable to link right now, but I found it on archive.org....

Yes, I need to read this better, to be sure.

Franklin is very Grube's later on, but I think the first lessons in this book are fraction and multiplication and division free.

 

Thanks!
