  Associated Standards and Objectives  
Content Standard(s):
Mathematics
MA2019 (2019)
Grade: K
4. Connect counting to cardinality using a variety of concrete objects.

a. Say the number names in consecutive order when counting objects.

b. Indicate that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted in a set.

c. Indicate that the number of objects in a set is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.

d. Explain that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.

Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
M.K.4.1: Define number and counting.
M.K.4.2: Identify correct number of objects for a given number up to 20.
M.K.4.3: Identify different size groups of objects up to 10.

a.
M.K.4.4: Count to 20 by ones.
M.K.4.5: Mimic counting objects.

b.
M.K.4.6: Know that the last number tells how many when counting 0 to 5 objects.
M.K.4.7: Mimic counting objects up to 20.
M.K.4.8: Count to 20 by ones.
M.K.4.9: Mimic counting to 20 by ones.

c.
M.K.4.10: Define one larger/one more.
M.K.4.11: Count objects in a group and identify total after adding one more.
M.K.4.12: Count in sequential order.
M.K.4.13: Mimic counting in sequential order.

Prior Knowledge Skills:
  • Count to 20 and above.
  • Mimic counting by ones.
  • Recognize numbers from one to ten.
  • Become interested in how many objects she/he has.
  • Continue to have an interest in counting.
  • Understand the concept of size and amount.
  • Notice same/different and some/all.
  • Understand that words can label sameness and differences.
  • Understand that some have more, and some have less.
  • Become more interested in the concept of some and all.
  • Given a set number of objects one through ten, answer the question "how many?"
  • Pair the number of objects counted with "how many."
  • Understand that the last number name tells the number of objects counted.
  • Establish one-to-one correspondence between numbers and objects when given a picture, a drawing or objects.
  • Pair a group of objects with a number representing the total number of objects in the group (up to ten objects).

Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards
AAS Standard:
M.AAS.K.4 Demonstrate one-to-one correspondence, pairing each object with one, and only one, number and each number with one, and only one, object (limit numbers and objects to five).


Learning Objectives:

Students are able to count an object saying the number name.  

  Strategies, Preparations and Variations  
Phase:
Before/Engage
Activity:

1. Show students the video and have students sing and dance along with the video counting the objects on the screen.  

2. After showing the video, have students pair up with another student and assign each pair a number.  

3. On a piece of paper, partners illustrate their assigned number then present it to the class by reading their number aloud and counting the objects they drew to represent their number.  

Assessment Strategies:

The teacher should walk around the room to observe students' progress in counting the numbers in a standard order and matching numbers with the correct quantity of objects represented in their illustrations. These observations will serve as a formative assessment.


Advanced Preparation:

Teachers will need an internet-connected device to show the video. 

Students will need paper and a pencil for the illustrations.

Provide students with a variety of objects to count through independent and small group counting collections for additional practice.

Variation Tips (optional):

Students can form numbers out of playdough, Wikki stix, pipe cleaners, or linking cubes while counting objects continuing to repeat the number rhymes. Students can take turns "being the teacher" counting objects and modeling the correct number formations while repeating the number rhymes.  

Notes or Recommendations (optional):
