Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This Counting Overview lesson plan also includes:

Develop automatic, meaningful counting skills with your class by using everyday classroom/school items, objects, and opportunities. Counting skills should be practiced during the year using objects and items they are familiar with and have connection to. Examples: Count the number of chairs, tables, books, and pencils in the classroom or the number of students with long vs. short hair. Record items counted on a regular basis on a class chart or whiteboard, and also allow learners to record counting results on their own. The point is to have the class count together and often. Also, they can gain confidence for using their counting skills in everyday life.
