Through this activity, students will show they can use one-to-one correspondence and count 6 to 10 objects.
Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your math lessons.
In addition to partner work time, use this counting game to enhance learning through guided math groups or as a fast finisher activity.
If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:
🆘 Support Struggling Students
Help students who need help understanding the concepts by inviting students to cover items with manipulatives. Students can pick up or move each item as they count. Additionally, provide access to previous assignments, as well as posters and anchor charts for students to recall past lessons.
➕ Challenge Fast Finishers
For fast finishers, encourage students to think of a number 1 more or 1 less than the number of objects shown on their card.
