About This Skill
Unlock the magic of numbers in Kindergarten with "Counting up to 5"! This essential skill teaches young learners how to accurately count sets of objects up to five. Students will master saying number words in sequence while pointing to each object exactly once (one-to-one correspondence), and understand that the last number they say tells the total quantity (cardinality). They'll also practice modeling quantities by creating groups of up to 5 items, building a strong foundation for number sense.

Curriculum Alignment
- 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.
- K.CC.B.5: Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
