2) Starting at One
Counting Forwards 1 to 10
A note for if you're doing this in Pre-Foundation
Counting 1 – 5:
You will need to see the Differentiation section below for the ‘A Little Easier’ videos.
Applies to many in: WA, TAS, and schools that have Pre-F on-site. Check your planner.
Mathematics
- Develop fluency counting forwards in the correct order from 1 to 10.
- Connect the block length, number name and numeral.
- Develop the concept that each number in the counting sequence is one greater than the number before it.
Language
- one longer
- one more than (later introduce ‘one greater than’)
- one number after
