Let’s get started
Every object gets one counting word. Point, count, and say the total!
Learn together
- Place five objects in a row.
- Touch one object each time you say a number: one, two, three, four, five.
- The last number tells how many objects are in the whole group.
Example to explore
🍎 🍎 🍎 = 3 apples
Try it yourself
- How many stars can you count? ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
- What number comes after 4?
- Draw five dots on paper. Tell someone how you counted.
Hands-on project
Create a tiny “museum” of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 objects. Label each collection with its number.
Reflect and grow
What helped you keep track as you counted?
