Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Keep one-to-one correspondence between number words and objects.
- Know objects can be moved from an irregular arrangement into a line to aid counting.
- Understand that the last number counted tells us 'how many' so far (the cardinal principle).
Common misconception
Missing out an object or counting one twice. Recounting without concluding how many there are.
Encourage using one finger to move and count each object. From the third learning cycle, repeat 'there are ___ [noun]' following a count.
