List a few ideas for providing opportunities for students to practice counting groups of objects

What will be an ideal response?


A teacher may have students count manipulatives or other objects in the classroom throughout the day. The students may count windows in the room, students at each table, or pencils in a box. Paired practice may be provided by having one student drop counters in a container while another student counts. The roles could then be reversed to provide practice for all students. A teacher may ask additional questions to prepare the students for solving more complex problems. Questions may include: How many girls are there? How many boys are there? How many children are there total? Are there more girls or boys? (Accept additional reasonable responses.)
