StarrMatica’s K-2 Lesson on Counting has launched!

Students join Madeline as she helps in her aunt and uncle’s candy shop.

Throughout the lesson students learn:

• the count sequence to 10
• the last number in the count is the total
• how to count starting at a number other than one
• how to count up to 20 items
• to count backward
• to skip count
• to identify if objects in one group are greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group
• to count on a hundreds chart
• to use tally marks to identify a number of objects
• to identify a missing number in a sequence

A few highlights of the lesson include:

Recipe Secrets – Students input a correct sequence of numbers to open a safe that contains a secret recipe.

Enrichment:  Hidden Treasures – Students search for hidden candy by identifying numbers on a hundreds square.

Teacher Tool:  Counting Toolbox – This virtual manipulative includes a customizable game board, counters, dice, and cards that will make creating your own counting game a snap.
