Description
How to Teach Counting
This Counting on to 120 Activity helps kindergarten and 1st grade students count forward from any number, not just from 1. Counting on is a big step in number sense: children learn that they can start at 45 and keep going, and they practice the tricky spots where the count moves into a new ten or past 100. Strong counting on skills make adding, comparing and reading larger numbers much easier.
How to Use This Activity
The counting on to 120 activity includes 12 lettered Lily Pad cards and a colorful 120 chart game board. Students pick a lily pad card, find that number on the chart, hop a finger along the chart and count on five more numbers out loud. Then they write the five numbers on the Recording Sheet and check them on the chart. The start numbers are spread from 7 to 112, and many of them cross a new ten, so students practice every part of the count. A 1st grade practice page with eight count-on rows gives extra review. This lily pad count on game works well in a math center, with a partner or in a small group.
What’s Included:
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps and prep tips
- 12 Lily Pad start-number cards (2 sheets)
- 120 chart game board
- Recording Sheet
- 1st Grade practice worksheet with 8 count-on rows
- Answer keys for the Recording Sheet and the practice worksheet
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Students learn to count on from any number up to 120, a key 1st grade counting skill.
- The 120 chart shows how numbers grow by ones and by tens, so children see the pattern.
- Writing the numbers helps children connect what they say with how the number looks.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Print the cards on cardstock and keep them with the 120 chart in a zip-top bag for a reusable center. For a quick warm-up, hold up a lily pad card and have the class count on together. Partners can race to find the start number on the chart, or one child can count on while the other checks. At home, use house numbers, page numbers or the clock as a start number and count on together.
