Learning Turkish Numbers

While your students are seated in their desks improving their reading skills and their mathematical
knowledge, students of the same age, 5,922 miles away, are also practicing their numbers… only in
Turkish! While they may not know “one, two, three”… they most certainly know “bir, iki, üç.” By
creating flash cards, an educational bulletin board, or by writing these numbers on the board, practice the following
Turkish numbers with your students. Distribute copies of this worksheet to your students. Instruct
them to draw lines from the correct Turkish number to the matching picture.
If your students are ready for a bigger challenge, you can also begin teaching them Turkish colors
by utilizing the activity on page 34. Then challenge them to color the shapes below by assigning a
Turkish color to each shape.

1 = bir 2 = iki 3 = üç 4 = dört 5 = beþ
6 = altý 7 = yedi 8 = sekiz 9 = dokuz 10 = on
