Math Action Thursday: Kindergarten--Counting Upward (Starting Alongside Numbers Other Than 1) Action Alongside A Lay Out Line

For today's link upward for Math activeness Thursday: Kindergarten I idea of an activeness that goes amongst CCSS K.CC.A.2 : Count forrad firstly from a given pose out inside the known sequence (instead of having to laid about at 1).

One of my favorite ways to practise this is past times using a pose out line.  I intend fifty-fifty 3 together with iv twelvemonth olds tin hit got fun amongst it.

Supplies needed are a pose out draw of piece of occupation (in my instructor shop I hit got a Lilly pad pose out line for $3 if you lot wanted a fun i to use), xx cards amongst the numbers 1-20, together with a mark of to a greater extent than or less kind to become to the indicate on the pose out draw of piece of occupation (I role a frog amongst my lilly pad pose out line).

Simply alternative a carte together with start counting up.  If you lot desire you lot tin practise counting downward equally good : )

You tin play equally long equally you lot desire together with hit got turns.  You tin fifty-fifty practise skip counting too!

C Is For Counting (A To Z Challenge)

Oh my, this shipping is most late.  Sorry to disappoint, but I'm in conclusion getting to it.

It is a basic one, but since nosotros are nonetheless at the kickoff business office of the alphabet I idea it would hold upwardly okay.

C is for Counting!  Counting is likely the most basic math--we instruct it to babies together with toddlers.  Counting has been merely about for to a greater extent than years than you lot or I could count to inwards a lifetime.

Counting nosotros instruct to youngsters unremarkably starts inwards a basic fashion--counting yesteryear ones inwards the positive direction.  As kids become older they larn to count yesteryear 2s, 5s, together with 10s.  Then when nosotros are instruction multiplications nosotros tend to endeavour together with reinforce counting yesteryear 3s, 4s, 6s, 7s, 8s, together with 9s.

I wanted to throw something out at that spot (sorry I don't retrieve where I heard it from)... Did you lot know most people when looking at objects tend to grouping them inwards either 2s or 3s together with divulge the full that way?

Here is an example...

Now that you lot convey observed how you lot "count" the dots, come across if I am right inwards your strategy

I am interested to know if you lot counted the same way.  I intend the style amid adults is to grouping from left to right although if dots were pose inwards a dissimilar expanse I believe the style is to start amongst the most crowded department together with count out from there.

Thanks for reading together with I'll come across you lot tomorrow : )
