Place the number cards (that have been cut apart) face down in a stack (or you can spread them out on the table face down). Each student takes turns drawing a card from the stack of number cards. When a student chooses a card, s/he looks at the game board and decides if the number drawn comes before or after a number on his/her game card. If it does, the student must say: The number comes before/after the number. The student then places the number card in the correct square on his game board. If the number cannot be used on the game board the student loses his turn and returns the card to the stack so that it can be drawn again. The game ends when a student covers all of the blank squares on his/her game board.

One to One counting The student has a reliable strategy to count an unstructured collection of items. Skill Descriptions Aligned to CCGPS: 1.5 Order numbers in the range 0-10 GSE.K.CC.7 Materials: Deck of cards with picture cards removed. Keep the aces. Numeral cards 0-10 - see page 9 Activity: The object of the game is to play the cards in order and be the student to play the cards that has 10 on it. Each ace is worth one. Place the aces face up to begin four stacks. Shuffle the cards. Deal each student five cards. A student with a two card begins by placing it on top of the ace. Students take turns putting one card on a stack of their choice. They must add to the stacks in sequence from 1 to 10. After each student has had their turn, they pick up a new card from the pack. If a student cannot go, then they keep picking up cards from the pack until they can go. The student who plays the 10 collects the stack. They receive a point and put that stack of cards to one side. The students continue to play their cards until there are no cards left and four stacks of 1 to 10 have been completed.

Explain that a numeral card (between 1-10) will be placed on the caterpillar and that he/she will use toothpicks to put that number of legs on the caterpillar (if the student has little number recognition the numeral cards should be initially 1, 2, or 3 and then gradually increase the number size). Continue the activity by placing new blank caterpillars in front of the student with different numbers and having him/her add the correct number of legs for each. When several are complete, have the student order the caterpillars from the smallest number of legs to the largest.

Stage 0 1 Behavioral Indicator Emergent The student has no reliable strategy to count an unstructured collection of items. One to One counting The student has a reliable strategy to count an unstructured collection of items. Skill Descriptions Aligned to CCGPS: 1.8 Compare two sets in the range 0-10 GSE.K.CC.7 Materials: None Activity: State the following: I am going to clap. I want you to tell me how many times I clap. (Clap three times). How many claps were in that set? (Have the student say the number and then clap two more times). How many claps were in that set? (Have the student say the number). Which set had the most claps? Which set had the least claps? (3 claps, the most and 2 claps, the least). Continue with more clapping sets in the number range 0-10. Notes: Ask the child to look away so that he/she does not observe you making the claps. Typically, children are less able to count clapping sequences than at counting collections, for example, counting a sequence of ten claps versus a collection of ten counters.

NZ Numeracy Project 19 Skill Number: 1.8 Comparing Small Collections - Stage 1 Teacher Learning and Understanding: STAGE ONE Students working on this activity are Stage Zero working towards Stage One. Stage 0 1 Behavioral Indicator Emergent The student has no reliable strategy to count an unstructured collection of items. One to One counting The student has a reliable strategy to count an unstructured collection of items. Skill Descriptions Aligned to CCGPS: 1.8 Compare two sets in the range 0-10 GSE.K.CC.7 Materials: Cards with one, two six dots see page 20 Dots are randomly arranged (not in a regular spatial pattern) About 10 cards for each number of cots (60 cards in all) Activity: Lay out two cards with a different number of dots on each card. Pick up the card that has more dots. Repeat with other pairs of dot cards showing different numbers of dots. Notes: This task is relatively easy for 5-year-olds and above. Accordingly, the task might reveal a lack of very beginning number knowledge. Children might spontaneously say a number to indicate how many dots on a card. Children who are not able to ascribe numerosity to a collection might nevertheless be successful on these tasks.

Choose a student in each group to start at 1. The students pass an object around and count it as it passes each person. The students count as far as 10. Examples: Repeat counting from 1. Challenging Examples: The group selects a single-digit number. Repeat the above activity, but count backwards from the selected number. Before counting the students predict who will be number 1. They check their prediction by passing an object and counting down out loud. Give all groups the same starting number. All groups count forward (up to 10). Play some music. When you stop the music each student draws the group s current number in the air. Record the numbers of all groups on the board and discuss whose number is the biggest.

Skill Descriptions Aligned to CCGPS: 1.9 Recognizing patterns to 5 GSE.K.OA.1 Materials: Rekenrek Activity: The focus in these lessons is not on counting but is on instantly recognizing or subitizing combinations to five. The ability of some young children to recognize small quantities without counting has been somewhat overlooked in the emphasis that has been given to counting. This lesson is a combination of recognizing and just knowing groupings to five and recording these combinations and separations in multiple ways thereby establishing a base for continued strategy development. Practice making finger patterns for the numbers 0-5. The focus is on grouping not counting. Many students like to show number ears. Begin with finger patterns the students will know like 1, 2 and 5. Find other patterns from these numbers e.g. Show me 5 fingers Change it into 3 How did you do that? What would 3 look like? Repeat this activity with the students hiding their fingers behind their backs and visualizing the finger patterns. Move over a small number of beads e.g. 6. Ask: How many beads did I just push? How did you know it was without counting the beads? Look for responses such as: I know that 6 is one more than 5. Have the student show you 6 fingers to reinforce the connection. Try this for other groupings such as: Eight is five and what? Alternatively, start by pushing across five beads and ask how many are needed to make eight? Follow up by asking: How did you know? Ask the student to show the same fact with their fingers. Push beads across and ask: How many more are needed to make 10? Connect this with finger patterns.

Place ping-pong balls numbered 1 to 10 in a bag or box. One pair of students pick out a ping-pong ball and say the number (with assistance if required). Each pair then goes to collect that number of named objects e.g. pencils, books, beanbags. The items are brought back and placed in a hoop or container. Each pair checks the other students collections to see if they have the correct number of objects. The group then counts each collection in turn using a child to act as a pointer. Continue the activity with other numbers. Vary the activity by giving each pair a different number. Collect mixed items, for example, one pencil, one book, one beanbag. Place other containers with a differently numbered ping-pong ball in each. Children match the collections to the numbers. Use a wider range of numbers.

K.CC.4 Materials: Collections of toys or objects Large die marked 0 and 1 Activity: Place a collection of small objects in the center of the table. One child rolls a large die labeled 0 and 1. If the die displays 1, the child takes one object. If the die displays 0, the child does not take anything. Take turns with each child building individual collections. When one child has a few objects in their collection (a set in the number range of 1 to 10) Ask: do you Encourage the child to touch and count each object, saying each number in turn. Ask: Emphasize that the last number in the count corresponds to the number of objects in the collection. Continue to play until one child has five objects. o Vary the size of the objects counted (larger objects, smaller objects). o Vary the objects in the collections, sometimes all of the same, sometimes different. o Vary the way the children collect the objects, for example arranging in a row, a ring, or a container. o Use a die numbered with 0, 1, and 2. Notes: Children might have difficulty keeping track of the number words as they are counting. Children might not know the number word sequence very well. Children might have difficulty coordinating a number word with each item. Suitable for small groups.

Stage 0 1 Behavioral Indicator Emergent The student has no reliable strategy to count an unstructured collection of items. One to One counting The student has a reliable strategy to count an unstructured collection of items. Skill Descriptions Aligned to CCGPS: 1.1 Rote counting 0-10 GSE.K.CC.1 1.3 Numeral Recognition GSE.K.CC.3 Materials: 40 cards (numbers 1-10) in four different colors 4 colored circle cards Activity: The teacher decides which numbers to use for the game. This will depend on the children s ability to identify numerals and also their forward number word sequence (FNWS) range e.g. a child might be able to say the FNWS to 10 but unable to identify some of the numerals from 1 10 and to count collections of up to 10 items. The teacher can decide to work in ranges such as: 1 to 3, 1 to 5, or 1 to 10. If working in the 1 to 10 range; the numerals 1 to 10 are written four times on cards. Each time in a different color, (the number 9 for example could be red, yellow, green, and blue). Four other cards displaying a circle of each of the four colors are also needed. The teacher places the four colored circles in a column, shuffles all the other cards (40 if working in 1 to 10 range), and then places ten cards face down at the side of each circle. The teacher asks a child to turn over any card. If the child was to turn a red 8, the teacher then explains that this card is presently in the yellow row and must be placed in the red row in the eighth position. The child might need to start at one and count each card to determine the eighth position. The child then picks up the card in the eighth position in the red row and replaces it with the red 8. The new card must then be placed in the correct position. The game ends when each card is in its correct position.

NZ Numeracy Project 80 Red 8 Notes: This activity is appropriate for children having difficulty coordinating number words and items or having difficulty with numeral identification. When children are familiar with this game they might observe that the numbers in a given column are the same. If they make a mistake in their perceptual counting the numbers are not the same and the error is apparent. If a child turns over a card that is already in its correct position, any other card is turned over. Initially, two rows (two colors) rather than four could be used in order to reduce the complexity of the task. This activity is suitable for individuals, pairs or small groups of children take turns in placing cards.

Have each child count his/her money and state the amount that he/she has. Record the amounts in a table. Name Amount Emily $18 Mark $12 Brody $16 Then ask the question: Who is the richest? The students compare their money to the amounts the other students have and as a group, the students declare the richest among them. Then, using the information recorded in the table, assist the students in ordering the amounts from least to greatest and from greatest to least. Continue in like manner until each student has been the richest at least once.

Place the number cards (that have been cut apart) face down in a stack (or you can spread them out on the table face down). Each student takes turns drawing a card from the stack of number cards. When a student chooses a card, s/he looks at the game board and decides if the number drawn comes before or after a number on his/her game card. If it does, the student must say: The number comes before/after the number. The student then places the number card in the correct square on his game board. If the number cannot be used on the game board the student loses his turn and returns the card to the stack so that it can be drawn again. The game ends when a student covers all of the blank squares on his/her game board.

Challenging Examples: The group selects a single-digit number. Repeat the above activity, but count backwards from the selected number. Before counting the students predict who will be number 1. They check their prediction by passing an object and counting down out loud. Give all groups the same starting number. All groups count forward (up to 10). Play some music. When you stop the music each student draws the group s current number in the air. Record the numbers of all groups on the board and discuss whose number is the biggest.

Skill Descriptions Aligned to GSE: 1.9 Recognizing patterns to 5 GSE.K.OA.1 Materials: Rekenrek Activity: The focus in these lessons is not on counting but is on instantly recognizing or subitizing combinations to five. The ability of some young children to recognize small quantities without counting has been somewhat overlooked in the emphasis that has been given to counting. This lesson is a combination of recognizing and just knowing groupings to five and recording these combinations and separations in multiple ways thereby establishing a base for continued strategy development. Practice making finger patterns for the numbers 0-5. The focus is on grouping not counting. Many students like to show number ears. Begin with finger patterns the students will know like 1, 2 and 5. Find other patterns from these numbers e.g. Show me 5 fingers Change it into 3 How did you do that? What would 3 look like? Repeat this activity with the students hiding their fingers behind their backs and visualizing the finger patterns. Move over a small number of beads e.g. 6. Ask: How many beads did I just push? How did you know it was without counting the beads? Look for responses such as: I know that 6 is one more than 5. Have the student show you 6 fingers to reinforce the connection. Try this for other groupings such as: Eight is five and what? Alternatively, start by pushing across five beads and ask how many are needed to make eight? Follow up by asking: How did you know? Ask the student to show the same fact with their fingers. Push beads across and ask: How many more are needed to make 10? Connect this with finger patterns.

One person shows a ten-frame briefly. That player says how many empty spaces there are on the card. If correct, the player moves his/her counter forward that number of spaces. Now, it is the next player s turn. The first person to reach the end is the winner. Examples: Student 1 draws this card. Student 1 says 4 and moves 4 spaces on the game board. Student 2 draws this card. If the student says 2, the student can move 2 spaces on the board. Now it s player 1 s turn again.
