\"\"<\/a>Beginning Numerals and Counting<\/h2>\n

Dr. Don has created another math program and put it into the Universal level virtual filing cabinet at Rocket Math.\u00a0 This is a beginning program for kindergarten students.\u00a0 That means they can’t learn on their own, the teacher must provide instruction.\u00a0 Teachers can use the worksheets to effectively teach students to count objects aloud and then match the word with the numeral. You can see the top half of Worksheet A here.<\/p>\n

I do–demonstration of counting.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Each worksheet begins with a demonstration of counting objects and circling the numeral that matches.\u00a0 On Worksheet A there are only the numerals two and three to learn.\u00a0 The teacher demonstrates (best with a document camera so all students can see) how she counts the objects and then points out that the answer is circled. Suggested teaching language is something like this,<\/p>\n

\u201cI can do these. Watch me count the frogs. One, two, three.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>There are three frogs in this box. So they circled the three. Everybody, t<\/em>ouch here where the three is circled. Good. <\/em>
\nHow many frogs were in this box, everybody? Yes, three. <\/em>
\nNow watch me do the next box.”<\/em><\/p>\n

We do–counting together.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the “We do” portion of the worksheet the teacher counts the stars first as a demo and then with the students.\u00a0 Worksheet A you all just count 3 stars.\u00a0 Suggested teaching language is something like this:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur \u2018We Do\u2019 says to touch and count. Start at zero and count each star.<\/em>
\nWe are going to touch and count the stars. Put your counting finger on zero, <\/em>
\neverybody. We are going to start at zero and count each star. Let\u2019s count.<\/em>
\nOne, two, three. We counted three stars. That was great! <\/em>
\nLet\u2019s do it again! Fingers on zero, everybody. Let\u2019s count. One…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

By Worksheet S the teacher and the students are\u00a0 counting 12 stars together.<\/p>\n

The program has a page of teacher directions, with suggested language for teaching the worksheets.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

You do–independent counting.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>In the “You do” portion of the worksheet (after learning the numerals with the teacher), the students are asked to count the items in each box and circle the correct number.\u00a0 They are not asked to form the numerals–that’s numeral writing skill.\u00a0 They just identify the numeral and circle it. Besides cute items there are also dice to count, fingers to count and hash marks to count–so students can learn multiple ways of keeping track of numbers.<\/p>\n

Passing a level requires 100% accuracy.\u00a0 Students who make any errors should be worked with until they can complete the worksheet independently and get all the items correct.<\/p>\n

This Beginning numerals program will build strong beginning math skills for kindergarten students learning the meaning of numerals.\u00a0 Combined with Rocket Writing for Numerals it will set students up for success in elementary math.<\/p>\n
