What is counting?
Counting is saying number names in order and matching one number to each object to find how many there are.
How to teach it
Count real objects out loud, touching each one once, then match the count to the written numeral. Practise counting on from a number, not always from one.
Worked example
Common mistake
Skipping or double-counting objects (weak one-to-one correspondence), and thinking the last number said is just a label rather than the total.
