Counting Objects

Lesson Summary
Practice counting real things like toys, crayons, and snacks by touching each one as you count.
Explanation
When you count objects, you touch or point to each thing one at a time and say a number. This is called one-to-one counting. The last number you say tells you how many there are in all. It does not matter what order you count them in, as long as you count each one only once.
