Counting We Will Go

Funded Aug 11, 2023

The counting collection materials we received were a big hit with all my students. The math counter objects have helped me engage all my students in playful mathematical routines that support and build my student's sense of mathematical identity. It also helps me develop a joy for doing mathematics with all my students in the classroom.

During our small group time, we sit at the table, and my students each grab a number and begin to count how many objects they have in their math counter collection. Many students are learning to sort, compare, and group the different items.

As we continue to practice counting with the math counters, I hope my students get a better understanding of one-to-one correspondence, patterning, and sorting. The more experience children have with counting, the more they will learn the meaning of numbers.”
