This counting activity is done in pairs and helps reinforce the concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to.

Módulo 1 del plan de estudios de jardín de infantes en una historia de unidades. En los temas A y B, las actividades de clasificación permiten a los estudiantes analizar y observar su mundo y articular sus observaciones. El razonamiento y el diálogo comienzan de inmediato. En los temas C, D, E y F, los estudiantes ordenan, cuentan y escriben hasta diez objetos para responder cuántas preguntas de lineal, a matriz, circular y finalmente a configuraciones dispersas en las que deben idear una ruta a través de los objetos como cuentan. En los temas G y H, los estudiantes usan su comprensión de las relaciones entre los números y saben que cada nombre de número sucesivo se refiere a una cantidad que es una mayor y que el número anterior es uno menos.

English Description:
Module 1 of the Kindergarten curriculum in A Story of Units.  In Topics A and B, classification activities allow students to analyze and observe their world and articulate their observations.  Reasoning and dialogue begin immediately.  In Topics C, D, E, and F, students order, count, and write up to ten objects to answer “how many?” questions from linear, to array, to circular, and finally to scattered configurations wherein they must devise a path through the objects as they count.  In Topics G and H, students use their understanding of relationships between numbers and know that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one greater and that the number before is one less.

In this six lesson unit, students recognize and explore the relationships among pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. They estimate and count sets of mixed coins, create equivalent sets, write story problems that involve money, and use coins to make patterns. Within the unit there is a link to US Mint. http://www.usmint.gov/kids/teachers/

This interactive Flash game helps students practice counting, subitizing, and grouping by 10s, as they transport Okta the Octopus and his friends to a safe ocean. The goal is to select given numbers of Oktas as quickly as possible before the timer runs out. Then users count the total number of Oktas "saved" and identify that number on a number line. Students choose from three levels of difficulty, which vary according to time limit, range of target numbers, and whether visual target cues appear. These settings are customizable. Users who count incorrectly are given the option of visual help in recounting.

In this lesson the student will understand the relationship between numbers and quantities. The student will count a variety of objects by ones. 

This lesson is for students who need support counting objects by ones. This would be a helpful lesson for kindergarten students, or first grade students in need of additional practice with this skill.

Thinking about numbers using frames of 10 can be a helpful way to learn basic number facts. The four games that can be played with this applet help to develop counting and addition skills. (This applet works well when used in conjunction with the Five Frame applet.)
