For example
Count the fishing boats as they come back into the bay.
In Grade 1
Children touch or move each thing as they say its number, so nothing is counted twice or skipped.
Watch out for
Children often say the numbers faster than they touch the objects, so the last number said is not the true amount. Slow the touching down.
Say it at home
Count real things your child can move, sliding each one across as the number is said.
