One, two, three... let's count!
Kindergarten counting is so much more than reciting numbers. Kids learn to count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from any number ("start at 7: 8, 9, 10!"), and count a group of up to 20 objects while touching each one just once. The big idea is that the last number you say tells how many are in the group: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 5 apples! They also learn that each number is one more than the one before. When a child stops recounting a pile from the start and just says "that's 6," counting has clicked.
Little hands, big numbers. These moves keep counting active, musical and meaningful.
Counting songs are the easiest daily practice there is. Play one during transitions and have kids hold up fingers or march on each number. The rhythm locks the order in, and the songs get requested again and again.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

By the end of kindergarten, children are expected to count to 100 by ones and by tens. They should also be able to count a group of up to 20 objects and tell how many there are.
It's very common! Young kids often say numbers faster than they point. Have them move each object to a new spot as they count it, so every object gets exactly one number.
Counting on means starting from a number other than 1, like "start at 6 and keep going." It shows a child understands the number sequence, and it sets up adding later in the year.
Show teens as "ten and some more": 14 is a full ten frame and 4 extra. Kids often mix up 13 and 30 or say "eleventeen," so a little daily practice with ten frames helps a lot.
