Counting Objects

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

The boys and girls have been working on counting objects 1-10 making a one to one correspondence.  We are checking to see how many different ways we can build a number.  We are also working on recognizing and writing our numbers to 20.   Take time to count objects through ten at home.  Have your child count 10 socks, shoes, beads, jelly beans etc.  Next, ask your child to count six beads.   Then ask them to put the beads into two groups.  They could have 1 in a group and 5 in another group.  Write that combination down and have them try a different way to make six using the beads.  Continue this practice with different numbers through 10.
