I can count objects to 20.
By the end of today's lesson, you should be able to touch or point to each object once, say one number for each object, and tell how many objects there are altogether.
Counting means matching one number to one object.
When we count, we point to each object only once. Each object gets one number word. The last number we say tells how many objects are in the group.
The last number is 10. So there are 10 counters.
Watch how we count.
Example 1 — Count 6 stars
Start with the first star.
Point to one star at a time and say: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The last number is 6, so there are 6 stars.
Example 2 — Count 14 blocks
Arrange the blocks so they are easy to see.
Count the first ten, then keep going: 11, 12, 13, 14.
There are 14 blocks.
Try it with help.
