What mistake does a teacher need to be careful to avoid when correcting a rote counting error? Explain why

What will be an ideal response?


Teachers need to be careful to avoid saying the skipped number immediately after the students make an error. For example, if a student says, “1, 2, 3, 4, 6,” and the teacher says, “5,” the student hears, “1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 5.” This can cause confusion for the students. This error can be avoided by saying “Stop,” and then modeling the correct sequence.
