Learners participate in hands-on activities using a hundreds chart and counting toes and fingers. They discover the patterns that are created when counting by ten. After a lecture/demo, learners practice by using a worksheet embedded in...

Using a 100s chart or a number line with a pointer, work with your class to count up to 100 by ones and tens. As a part of daily instruction, prompt your kindergartners to chant count from 1 to 30. Move on to 1 to 50, and then from 1 to...

Practice counting in patterns and skip counting by 1, 5, and 10. Once the patterns have been taught, teams of 5 or 6 learners -- holding hands in circles -- skip count each time they collectively bounce a balloon up into the air. Early...

Class members drill and practice counting skills from 1 to 20. They count along with a puppet and when the puppet makes a mistake, they correct it. In pairs, they connect cubes to make a train and count the number used. On the last of...

Five days of lessons develop number sense and counting patterns, including odd and even numbers, 5s and 10s, doubles, and ways to make 10. Each session opens with fun finger play to reinforce counting and reasoning about numbers. Various...

Budding mathematicians explore the concept of skip counting. They practice skip counting as they use it to determine the number of wheels that come to school at 3 different times throughout the day. They also create a data graph to show...

Working in a math center or an "I finished early" work station, young mathematicians will match in sequence pre-set-up rods of unifix cubes to numbers on a number line. To help differentiate tens from ones, use different colors to...

Take stroll around the classroom while teaching young mathematicians to count fluently with this whole-group math activity. The teacher starts things off by walking around the room while counting up from the number one and continues...

Youngsters chorally count to 100 by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s, and backwards from 20, using chip markers and a hundreds chart. Includes a printable chart and a teacher checklist for assessing mastery.

A handprint worksheet is provided to help youngsters practice skip counting by 5s. As a follow up, you could have little ones gather into groups to skip count their own fingers by fives.

Here is another learning game that will engage your kindergartners and support them with their counting fluency. Forming a circle where everyone faces inward, choose a counting sequence (counting frontward or backward) with no more than...

Students count aloud by tens. They use a number chart to color in every number that ends in a zero and then participate in choral counting by tens.

Using a number line or a 100s chart that extends past 100, practice counting from 1 to 120 with your class. As a part of daily instruction, chant count in sequence from 1 to 100 and then randomly chose a number and count onward to 120....

Working as a pair, two kindergartners will sit at a table and will pick two handfuls of counters. They will combine their individual handfuls into one, and count their own selection. They will then draw and record their count on a record...

Students participate in teacher-led demonstrations and use manipulatives to count the numbers one through ten out loud.

Young mathematicians concentrate on learning to fluently count. Following the rules of the classic game Memory, children take turns flipping over cards in order to find pairs of numbers that cross a decade (e.g. 29 and 30). For younger...

Students explore their counting skills. In this counting lesson, students group objects in sets of 10 to practice counting them. Students also practice graphing the sets of objects they count.  This lesson incorporates the...

Students practice skip counting strategies, estimation, and higher number addition. They estimate the number of seeds in bell pepper, and count seeds in groups of tens and ones after the teacher removes seeds from the pepper.

Students continue to practice counting by ones. Individually, they are given a story problem from their teacher and count numbers in their head only saying the final answer. To end the lesson, they count the objects in their classroom.

Learners solve a multiplication problem in which they must multiply two 2-digit numbers with the help of a "Coach". Pupils follow a step-by step process and notes are provided for the coach.

In this "groups of ten" worksheet, young scholars circle groups of ten cubes, then write how many rows of tens they have. Worksheet includes a brief introduction to counting groups of ten.

Practice counting by ones up to 20 with your kindergartners using this colorful class experiment. There are two versions for the lesson. Version 1: The Friday beforehand, send home a notice for the week assigning a different color for...

First graders count by 5's to 100. They use a number chart to identify and mark all numbers ending in five or zero. They use the charts to participate in choral counting.

Students are introduced to the numerals zero through five. They associate the numeral with the correct number of objects. Students comprehend the quantities zero through five showing "How many?" by counting their fingers or using a...
