Teacher Language

 

Make a statement

‘We are going to count to …’.

 

Give an instruction:

‘Count the........’.

‘Count the students at school today’.

 

Correction/Prompt:

‘Try again’.

When carrying out any of the following teaching activities it will be necessary to use different levels of support as indicated in the guidelines table at the beginning of Number. Fade this support as the student works towards developing independence.

 

When this activity is implemented, objects such as counters, teddy bears must be identical to ensure that the student is counting rather than attributing characteristics to numbers e.g. red counters symbolise 1, yellow counters symbolise 2 etc.

Whenever a specific number is being counted, only that number of objects is placed in front of the student. 

 

Counts objects to 3

Only one object is presented to the student. Teachers states ‘We are going to count to 1. Count the ………’. Once the student has independently counted one object, move onto two objects and then three. Encouraged students to touch the objects as they count.

 

Counts objects to 5 and to 10.

Follow teaching procedures as stated above. Do not move onto the next number unless 100% accuracy has been achieved.

Activities that involve counting with one to one correspondence include:

Counting students in class, counting chairs for students, pencils for each student etc.
