Est. Class Sessions: 1–2

Extensions

  • My Counting Book. Staple 11 pieces of paper together for each student. On the top page, have students write their names and number the other pages from 1 to 10. Students draw or glue pictures to represent the number on each page of their books. For example, on page 5, students draw or glue five objects. Students can complete this activity in a center.
  • Around the School. Take students around the school to acquaint them with its physical layout and to provide opportunities for further counting. You can count the number of doorways to the principal's office, the steps to the gymnasium, the number of restrooms, and so on.
