Counting tells how many
Counting tells how many: One number for each object → The last number tells how many → Numerals and quantities → Which has more?.
Learning goals
- Count arranged/scattered sets with one-to-one correspondence and recognize zero.
- Match a counted set to its cardinal number even after rearrangement.
- Connect written numerals 0–20 with sets, including teen quantities.
- Compare sets to 10 by matching/counting and compare written numbers 1–10.
A suggested order, with freedom to open or replay any available activity. Played activities help teachers continue a sequence; they do not measure mastery.
