Lesson Details

Key learning points

Secure understanding of counting principles explored so far (stable-order, one-to-one, cardinal).
Know the importance of number rhymes in developing our number sense.

Common misconception

Inaccurate representation of the number rhymes.

Once again, ensure all children have access to any countable objects needed and ensure the visuals on the slides are not replied upon. Take time to revisit early counting principles, modelling how these can be used to help represent a given visual.

Keywords

Represent - Showing something or standing for something. A raindrop in the song can be represented with a cube or counter.
