From our teachers' playbook

One, two, three... let's count!

What do kindergarteners learn about counting?

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.

Our favorite ways to make counting stick

Little hands, big numbers. These moves keep counting active, musical and meaningful.

Sing the counting sequence

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).

Touch, move, count

Give each child a cup of counters and a mat. They slide one counter across the line for every number they say, then announce the total. Moving objects stops the classic mistake of saying numbers faster than you point.

Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Quick counting check-ins

Once a week, pull kids for a 2-minute check: count as high as you can, count on from 14, count this pile. Jot where each child stops. Then you know exactly who needs teen numbers and who's ready for 100.

Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions parents and teachers ask us

How high should a kindergartener count?

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.

Why does my child skip numbers when counting objects?

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.

What is "counting on" in kindergarten?

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.

How do I teach the teen numbers?

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.

Are these counting resources printable?

Yes! The worksheets and activities print right from your browser, and the songs and videos play in class or at home. Members get everything on the page.
