PK.N.2.2
PK.N.2.2 Use one-to-one correspondence in counting objects and matching groups of objects.
In a Nutshell
This objective requires that Pre-K students understand that, when counting, each object is assigned its own number. Every time they say a number in the counting sequence, they must point to/touch a separate object. The transition from rote counting to one-to-one correspondence can be very difficult for students to navigate. Modeling this concept is extremely important to student understanding.
Student Actions
|
Teacher Actions
|
-
Construct conceptual understanding by touching or moving each object as they count them. One object is touched as only one number is counted.
-
Advance procedural fluency by engaging in varied counting tasks.
-
Develop strategies for keeping track of what has and has not been counted.
- Make models to demonstrate the pattern of one object per number
|
-
Use and connect mathematical representations by modeling the counting process.
-
Support a mathematical disposition through productive struggle by regularly providing or identifying real-world opportunities to touch objects as they count.
- Build procedural fluency by modeling touching, pointing to, or moving an object as you count (a number on a number chart, a day on the calendar, etc.)
|
Key Understandings
|
Misconceptions
|
-
Only one object is identified, as only one number is said. If they do not specifically identify a new object, they should not say a new number.
-
Every number represents exactly one object added to the previous set.
|
-
Saying more than one number when touching an object (counting more objects than are there)
-
Saying a number before, in between, or after touching objects (counting more than is there)
-
Touching an object for each syllable in a number word (e.g., counting two objects when saying “thirteen”)

Rote counting (PK.N.1.1)
