Learning objectives

Practice one-to-one correspondence when counting objects.
Connect a counted set with its written numeral.
Use a second count to diagnose a wrong choice.

Concepts and principles

When counting, each distinct object should receive one number word.
The final number spoken in a correct count gives the number of objects in the set.
Changing the arrangement of objects does not change their number unless objects are added or removed.

Examples and worked solutions

A picture contains five separate rings. Which numeral matches it?: Worked solution: The numeral 5 represents a set of five rings.

Guided practice

Observe the displayed rings and count each ring once.
Predict the answer before tapping a numeral option.
Use the correct/incorrect feedback to recount and correct an error.

Expected observations and explanations

Systematic counting avoids omissions and double counting.
The same numeral names the quantity even if objects are arranged differently.

Assessment questions and answers

What should you do if you counted the same ring twice?: Answer: Restart with a clear tracking order so each ring is counted once.
Does moving the rings around change the count?: Answer: No, not if the number of rings stays the same.
