Preparation
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to count out a given number of objects.
Lesson Narrative
Counting out objects requires students to remember which number they need to stop at while also matching each object with one number. In this lesson, students create multiple groups with the same number of objects that match written numbers.
- Action and Expression
- MLR7
- Compare and contrast (orally) different groups of objects that represent the same written number.
- Create a group of objects to represent a given written number.
- Descubramos cuántas plantas tenemos que poner en nuestra huerta.

Activity 2
Activity 3
Required Preparation
Activity 1
- Create a set of number cards from the blackline master for each group of 2. Remove the cards with 0 from the sets.
- Each group of 2 needs access to the Numbers 1‒10 with 5-Frames Reference Sheet from a previous lesson.
Activity 2
- Each group of 2‒4 students needs a piece of chart paper with a number (1‒10) written at the top.
- Each group of 2‒4 students needs access to the Numbers 1‒10 with 5-Frames Reference Sheet from a previous lesson.
Activity 3
- Gather materials from:
- Number Race, Stage 1
- Geoblocks, Stages 1 and 2
- Math Fingers, Stages 1 and 2
Suggested Centers
NoneExtend the Activity Synthesis for Activity 1, “Plants in a Garden,” by asking:
- “What would happen if we put too many plants in the garden, and how would we know if there were too many plants?” (The plants would crowd each other. The plants might block each other’s sunlight so it’s hard to grow.)
- “What would happen if we put too few plants in the garden and how would we know if there were too few plants?” (It might not look as nice. There might not be enough flowers or fruits or vegetables.)

Teacher Reflection Questions
In the next lesson, students draw groups of images to represent numbers. What did you learn about each student in today’s activities that is helpful in planning for the counting activity tomorrow?
