Counting is Fun!
Counting helps us understand how many things there are.
You already know how to count to 10 - now let's practice counting all the way to 20! We'll use fun
objects, number lines, and games to make counting exciting.
Counting Steps
1️⃣ Say the numbers in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
2️⃣ Point to each object as you count it
3️⃣ Remember that the last number you say tells how many there are!
