Representing counting songs

Lesson details
Key learning points
- Secure understanding of counting principles explored so far (stable-order, one-to-one, cardinal).
- Know the importance of number rhymes in developing our number sense.
Common misconception
Inaccurate representation of the number rhymes.
Once again, ensure all children have access to any countable objects needed and ensure the visuals on the slides are not replied upon. Take time to revisit early counting principles, modelling how these can be used to help represent a given visual.
Keywords
Represent - Showing something or standing for something. A raindrop in the song can be represented with a cube or counter.
Familiarity with number rhymes can provide the foundation for vital mathematical skills and awareness of them, so try to protect time to sing number rhymes throughout the day, every day. Different rhymes can help to introduce and develop different concepts such as scale, size and order.
