Count a group(set/collection)of objects by touching each object as it is counted and saying the correct number. This lesson uses a number die which students roll and then choose the correct number of pieces of food to place on the mouse's plate.
This lesson is a follow-up to readings of Mouse Count by Ellen Stoll Walsh.
Count objects. Count the items in a collection and know the last counting word tells "how many."
Count the items in a collection of one to five items and know the last counting word tells "how many." Compare two groups of matched objects (five or less) and describe the groups using the terms more, fewer, or same.
Count to 20 or more. (This song is from 1-10.) Count a group of objects.
This is an illustrated counting song called "Numbers Rumba." Unfortunately the actual music is not attached but you can use a piggyback tune. Students can pretend to "shake maracas" during the "cha-cha-cha" part of the song.
There is not a Virginia Building Block for forming numerals correctly. This is a song about numeral formation. Students like to use the fun pens, like happy faces, stars, rainbows, etc. to trace the large numerals as their friends sing along and form the numeral in the air with their "finger pencil." The tune for all of the "verses" is "Skip to My Lou," thus for the numeral 1 it would be sung as: "Start at the top and come straight down, start at the top and come straight down, start at the stop and come straight down, to make the numeral 1." Each numeral is practiced 3 times. You can adapt this file to your school system's adopted handwriting method.
Count to 20 or more. This is an illustrated version of "The Ants Go Marching." It counts from 1 to 10.

Description:
Count items in a collection of one to five items and know the last counting word tells "how many." This is a work mat of a picnic lunch with an infinitely cloned ant and the die that has numbers on the faces. Students roll die to determine how many ants to put on the picnic blanket.
Describe changes in groups (sets/collections) by using more when groups of objects (sets) are combined together. Use this lesson after readings of Peter Rabbit. The vegetables have been infinitely so that the user can quickly makes sets of vegetables for students to add together.
Describe changes in groups(sets/collections) by using "more" when groups of objects (sets) are combined together. This activity contains illustrations of the homes of the Three Little Pigs as well as the pigs which can be moved to create story problems.
Use the appropriate vocabulary when describing duration of time,e.g. day. This lesson is a story sequence using pictures from the book Cookies Week by Tomie dePaola
Use the appropriate vocabulary when describing durations of time, e.g. day. This activity can be done during readings of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." Students take turns putting the words for the days of the week in order on 2 different slides. They prefer the second slide as the "body parts" of the caterpillar spin around when tapped!
Recognize shapes by naming the appropriate figure when the teacher names the shape. This activity contains a series of shapes drawn by the teacher. Students can take turns comping to the board to erase a shape they've named of their choosing or a shape the teacher or helper/leader has directed them to erase.
Recognize shapes by naming the appropriate figure when the teacher names the shape.
In this lesson, the students will see a series of slides with pictures of everyday objects. They will first name the shape that they think the picture resembles and can touch the picture to watch it shrink to reveal the correct shape hidden beneath.
Recognize shapes by pointing to the appropriate figure when the teacher names the shape.
This is a rebus song using the piggyback tune of : Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes. It is
the helper of the day to point to the shapes and words as the song is sung.
Recognizes shapes by pointing to the appropriate figure when the teacher names the shape.
This file is a song which is sung to the tune of "Skip to my Lou."
Match and sort shapes. In this lesson, students use the special "shape recognition pen," and under teacher direction,
find shapes in the images to trace, such as windows, for the pen to recognize.
Sort and classify objects according to one or two attributes. This is a unit on buttons created by another teacher which was available on her website. See her name and contact information to find additional activities.
Sort and classify according to one or two attributes. This is a unit on sorting and classifying created by another teacher which is available by using her contact information on the introductory page.
Sort and classify objects according to size. In this lesson, students are sequencing a series of teddy bear counters by size after readings of "The Three Bears."
This is a series of lessons on patterning based on the Everyday in Pre-K Math Curriculum. It is based on the pattern established on the calendar each month.
Identify and explore simple patterns.
