Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of
objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.
Subject(s) of the lesson
Counting and Cardinality
Number automaticity

Prerequisite Knowledge: What do they need to know? What will

you have them recall?
1:1 correspondence, each number said corresponds to a quantity,
Understand that each successive number name refers to a
quantity that is one larger.

Content
Students will learn strategies to name quantities that are viewed as objects and
pictures in different arrangements.This lesson will increase their fluency in counting
and cardinality.
List the objectives for this lesson. They should include what the students will learn from your
instruction
Students will be able to name how many objects regardless of their arrangement as evidenced by
explaining how they know to their partner and teacher.
Students will understand that grouping small quantities together to name bigger quantities
improves counting fluency.
How will you teach the content? Details help. Include the game(s), what do you do before the
games and how do you follow-up.
Modeled/guided practice: In whole group, the teacher will present groups of objects in different
arrays in a Smart board activity. The teacher uses the Notebook screen shade to hide pictures of
objects. She explains to kindergarten students that their job is to tell how many. But the twist is that
the screen shade will only stay down for 3 seconds, and the student who tells how many must
explain how they know.
Independent practice: Student will work in pairs, viewing a Scratch game designed to flash
quantities on the screen. One student will operate the game while the other student names the
quantities. Each student will complete 5 slides/backgrounds. After they name the quantity, they will
write the number of the quantity and show the quantity in a drawing on a graphic organizer. The
student must explain how they know the quantity to their partner each time they name one.
Closure: Students will reconvene on the carpet and share the ways they explained quantities from
the arrangements on the Scratch game. They will use their recording sheet to help them explain
their mathematical thinking.
Additional materials you will use and how will you use them.
Smart board/projector: Whole group/guided practice instruction.
Smart Notebook Lesson: Students will view the pictures/objects to learn how to build fluency
with naming quantities. Teacher will utilize the screen shade as an important timing aspect of
building automaticity.
iPads: In pairs, students will complete the pre-made Scratch games.
