Number Recognition
This is another activity for the hundreds chart, but is geared toward children who still struggle some reading large numbers. Again, if you do not have a hundreds chart, one can be printed off here:

Principle: God gave man the gift of language, including mathematical language, for His glory.
Leading Idea: We are responsible to speak accurately. Describing things accurately and using the proper words aids communication.
Scripture:
Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Reasoning:
God spoke all things into existence by His word. He had language from the beginning, and gave it as a gift to humans. Because His word is true, ours should be true. We should strive to speak the truth, and to use precise, accurate terms in our speech.
Activity:
Give the child a numbers chart and several counters or other small objects which will fit in the squares. Allow the child to place the counters in the spaces to create pictures, shapes, and/or patterns. When he is finished, have him read the numbers he covered as he removes the counters. Color in the numbers as he says them on your own number chart until you have a copy of what he did on his. This gives practice in number recognition, but also in the importance of precise speech. Our speech should create an image in the listener's mind akin to what we are trying to say.
