Lesson details
Key learning points
- Point to concrete and pictorial resources when counting to 10 to make links and identify how many in a set.
- The order in which we count the items in a set is unimportant.
- The number of objects in a group is the same whether they are spread far apart or are close together (conservation).
Keywords
Numbers one to ten
Count - saying the numbers in order to find the total amount in a set
Altogether - the total amount in a set
The same - exactly the same amount or value
Common misconception
When objects are moved or rearranged, children may re-count them to find 'how many'.
Setting this lesson up practically will help reinforce that there is no need to re-count the set of objects - show they have just moved.
This lesson encourages practice of counting skills in preparation for future lessons. Set up this lesson practically so that children can observe and count objects being physically manipulated
