Lesson details
Key learning points
- Revisit counting out or 'giving' a number of things from a larger group, not just counting the number there are.
- Focus on the stopping number which gives the cardinal value.
- Start counting at a number other than one and stop at a given number e.g. we can count from 5 to 8.
Keywords
Count out - When you take an object or objects from a set and count them you count them out.
How many - You ask how many when you want to know the number in a set or group.
Group - A group is a collection of objects or images.
Common misconception
Unnecessarily re-counting all objects in a group rather than counting on from an existing amount.
Repeat the key sentence, 'we start our count at ___, and we count ___'.
