Lesson Title: ___Learning to count with a Book_____________________

Counting & Cardinality: Count to tell the number of objects. K.CC.B.4: Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities ; connect counting to cardinality. A. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. B. Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. C. Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.

Materials & Resources

Jennifer Ward's book, Somewhere in the Ocean. Ocean activity counting sheet.

Input (What
students already know.)

Students know how to count to ten and beyond.

Model (How will

you demonstrate skills?)

I will show the pages of the book and how as the counting numbers go up so do the number of fish, or other ocean items increase.

Check for Understanding

I will ask how many whales? How many baby octopuses? I will have them count the objects in the picture.
