PK.N.2.4

PK.N.2.4 Count up to 5 items in scattered configurations; not in a row or column.

In a Nutshell

This objective focuses on Pre-K students counting unorganized objects in an organized way. The goal is for students to develop strategies to keep information sorted out in their minds. By the end of the year, Pre-K students should be able to count up to 5 objects, no matter the arrangement.

Student Actions	Teacher Actions
Engage in problem-solving by creating strategies for counting objects in an unfamiliar formation (such as touching to count, mentally grouping, counting in one direction, etc.) Develop a productive disposition when counting objects that are in a difficult arrangement Model and generalize how previously used strategies can be applied in a variety of configurations	Support productive struggle and procedural fluency by providing frequent opportunities to practice counting in unfamiliar arrangements. Provide meaningful mathematics experience by asking students to count real-world items such as chairs, crayons, books, etc. Model strategies for counting scattered arrangements of objects.
Key Understandings	Misconceptions
Each object must be counted only once. It is beneficial to count in an organized manner (top to bottom, clockwise, etc.) to keep track of what has been counted and what has not. Unorganized, stationary objects must sometimes be counted without being moved	Objects can be counted more than once. Objects can be skipped while counting. Objects can always be moved or manipulated when counting.
