Student Summary

Cannot count objects placed in front of him or her.

Knows the counting words from 1 to (5 / 10 / 12 / 24 / 100).

Uses synchrony for numbers to (5 / 10 / 12 / 24 / 100).

Uses one-to-one correspondence (connects the counting sequence in a one-to-one manner) for numbers to (5 / 10 / 12 / 24 / 100).

Knows cardinality (identifies the value of objects possibly by repeating the last number with emphasis). For numbers to (5 / 10 / 12 / 24 / 100).

Knows the number word just after a given number word (with / without) dropping back. For numbers to (5 / 10 / 12 / 24 / 100).

Counts objects by ones to 24 with understanding and skill.

Counts objects that are hidden from sight (I have these here and three in my pocket, how many in all?).

When given two sets of objects and told the cardinality of one set counts both sets from one.

When given two sets of objects and told the cardinality of one set will count on.

Counts by more than ones. Counted by 2’s, 5’s, other

Uses visualization abilities to recognizes patterns of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to identify cardinality.

Counts objects to 24 with understanding and skill by using methods other than count by ones.
