Counting 1–10
Count objects up to 10, recognize number symbols
What is Counting?
Counting is how we find out how many things there are. We count objects one by one: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Each number tells us how many objects we have counted.
Example
Let's Count Together
Look at these apples: 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎
Point to each apple as you count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. There are 5 apples!
Note
Remember
When we count, we touch or point to each object one at a time. We say one number for each object. The last number we say tells us how many there are in total.
Example
Try These
Count the stars: ⭐⭐⭐ (3 stars)
Count the hearts: ❤️❤️❤️❤️ (4 hearts)
Count the suns: ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ (6 suns)
Number Symbols
Each number has its own symbol (shape): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Learning to recognize these symbols is an important part of counting.
