Relationships between Numbers and Quantities - Grade: Kindergarten.

Introduction to the Toolkit Lesson

Classroom

Setting: Group of Students

Non-classroom

Setting: One-on-One

Before the Lesson

Assess students to be sure they can count, in order, from zero to ten orally.
It is recommended this is completed with the students 1:1 or in a small group to evaluate readiness.
Students may practice with a partner. Goal-making may be an opportunity to build mastery.

During the Lesson

Guided practice of counting objects to identify their quantity will be practiced with objects (counters, cubes preferably, but may include any classroom materials (beads, goldfish, stickers for interest level) and a ten-frame chart to match a shown number.

After the Lesson

Students work independently on a matching worksheet. The facilitator should note what methods or strategies the student uses. For example, using fingers, and objects.

Before the Lesson

Assess students to be sure they can count, in order, from zero to ten orally.
Using household or everyday materials to count with the student can engage their interest level.
When working with a student, guide them to counting and provide a small prompt if needed such as: “2, 3, now your turn.”

During the Lesson

Guided practice of counting objects to identify their quantity. Students may be grouped in small groups or 1:1 with an instructor.
Students will use objects (goldfish, Lego pieces, rocks, stickers, or other pieces of interest) and place them on a ten-frame chart to match a shown number.

After the Lesson

Students will work independently on a matching worksheet.

A Note About Timing

This toolkit has several components and activities. The activities in this toolkit can be divided up over several days and can be completed at any time. There is a suggestion for breaks throughout the toolkit. However, you know your student(s) best and know the amount of time you have to help them. Feel free to take a break after every activity or chunk activities together in the amount of time you have. Timings are approximate and will depend on the needs of the student.
