Content :
Counting of figures can both be fun and frustrating for the pupils because this is the first introduction of counting of Numbers to the pupils.
Teachers must be patient and calm with the pupils. The teacher must make learning fun by making available necessary songs or rhymes.
Counting on’ is a math skill that allows the children to continue counting objects added to a previously counted group without recounting the entire group.
For instance, give a child three blocks and him to count. Then give the child another two blocks to continue counting
What the child is expected to do is to count————— 1, 2, 3 (when you add the extra two blocks, the
child will continue counting) 4, 5.
‘Counting on’ means the child will apply ‘one-to-one correspondence skill to the additional two blocks by counting 4, 5 instead of restarting at one and recounting all the five blocks.
