The reading of quantities for my son Matthias has been a little difficult, as much as I have explained to him it has been difficult, about 15 days ago I went with my wife to pick up the report card of my son and we were congratulated because he is a very obedient and intelligent child, he reads very well, He reads very well, does addition and subtraction, but they emphasized the reading of quantities, since then I have tried to help him, but the results are not as expected, that is why I gave myself the task of investigating, until I found a format and wanted to do it in a more didactic and fun way, so I came up with the idea of making it as a blackboard.

Elaboración / Elaboration
Primeramente cubrí el trozo de cartón con las hojas reciclables, para lo que coloque un poco de pega blanca por las orillas y pegue las hojas, dejando 2 centímetros para cubrir los bordes.
First, I covered the piece of cardboard with the recyclable leaves, so I put some white glue around the edges and glued the leaves, leaving 2 centimeters to cover the edges.
Seguidamente con la ayuda de la regla dividí, horizontalmente en 8 cuadros de 4 X 4 y uno de 8 x 12; verticalmente en 9 cuadros de 4 x 4 y uno de 14 x 4. Lo realice en borrador con un lápiz de grafito, en este punto me ayudo mi hijo Matthias para trazar las líneas, ya que sentía gran curiosidad por lo que estaba haciendo.
Then with the help of the ruler I divided it horizontally into 8 squares of 4 x 4 and one of 8 x 12; vertically into 9 squares of 4 x 4 and one of 14 x 4. I did it in draft with a graphite pencil, at this point my son Matthias helped me to draw the lines, as he was very curious about what I was doing.
Realizadas las cuadriculas, me dispuse a dar forma al instrumento, dividiendo en cada 3 cuadriculas en Unidades (unidad, decena, centena), Miles (unidad de mil, decena de mil, centena de mil) y Millones (unidad de millón, decena de millón, centena de millón). La ultima celda la deje para colocar las cantidades a ubicar en el cartel de valores.
Once the grids were done, I started to shape the instrument, dividing every 3 grids into Units (unit, ten, hundred), Thousands (unit of a thousand, ten of a thousand, hundred of a thousand) and Millions (unit of a million, ten of a million, hundred of a million). The last cell is left to place the amounts to be placed in the value poster.
Ya con el instrumento bien definido, remarque con marcador permanente, y quise dar un poco de vida y color, por lo que remarque las letras con un poco de color rojo, ya que considero muy importante realizar un instrumento llamativo y agradable a la vista.
Once the instrument was well defined, I marked with permanent marker, and I wanted to give a little life and color, so I marked the letters with a little red color, since I consider very important to make a striking and pleasing to the eye instrument.
Finalmente coloque el papel contac transparente, dejando 3 cm para cubrir los bordes, este papel permitirá causar el efecto de pizarra acrílica, donde Matthias podrá escribir cantidades con un marcador acrílico y luego borrar con facilidad, de esta forma podrá practicar la cantidad de veces que sea necesaria, haciendo un instrumento duradero en el tiempo.
Finally I placed the transparent contact paper, leaving 3 cm to cover the edges, this paper will allow the effect of an acrylic blackboard, where Matthias can write quantities with an acrylic marker and then erase easily, this way he can practice as many times as necessary, making a durable instrument in time.

Les confieso que estoy muy feliz, ya que siento que he ayudado a mi hijo a sentir seguridad al leer cantidades, de esto se trata ser padres, ayudar a los hijos a lograr vencer los miedos, estimularlos en el aprendizaje, guiarlos por el camino correcto; soy un padre a quien le gusta estar ligado en todos los aspectos de la vida de mis pequeños, se que cuando mis hijos estén grandes van a recordar estos momentos, y lo apreciaran mucho.
