Counting is Fun!
Hello little mathematician!
Today we're going to count dots from 0 all the way up to 20! Counting dots helps us understand numbers better. Let's point to each dot and say the numbers together!
How to Count Dots
1️⃣ Point to each dot one at a time
2️⃣ Say the number out loud as you touch each dot
3️⃣ When you reach the last dot, that's your total!
Let's Practice Together!
Example 1: Count the dots!
How many dots do you see?
Example 2: Let's count higher!
How many dots are there now?
Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it physical: Use buttons, beads, or cereal pieces to create dot patterns your child can touch and count.
- Play counting games: "I spy" with dots around the house or count dots while reading picture books together.
- Celebrate mistakes: If your child miscounts, say "Great try! Let's count them together" and model pointing to each dot.
