5. Comparing Numbers, Before and After
ACMNA289 Compare, order and make correspondences between collections, initially to 20, and explain reasoning

6. 5 5 4 2 3 1 How Many? This activity shows one-to-one correspondence
Count to establish the initial number
Once the faces are counted and it is established that everyone has one hat, then the number of hats will be the same as the number of children
It is for this reason, that counting of the hats should not be necessary initially but may be needed to establish that there are the same number
How many hats?
How many children? 1 5

7. Conservation of Number5 4 8
Establish initial number with counting, then ask students if they need to count a second time, seeing that there are the same number of mice as before
It is important that students watch carefully so they can see that the number is the same 3 6 7
How many mice now?
How many mice? 8 2 1

8. Arrange Smallest to Largest10
This activity shows seriation, the arrangement of numbers in order
Allow students to compare the size of the towers created 8 6 3 1

9. Assumed Prior Knowledge
Students should already be able to:
Count forwards and backwards starting at any number
Subitise small groups of objects 5

10. (c) Professor Pete's Classroom, 2017. All rights reserved.
One More
Finding one more requires students to know the number after a given number
After counting the first time to establish the number, discourage recounting when one more is added.
Encourage students to think of the next number, or the number after
Students may need more practice with counting starting at any number if they are not able to give a fluent reply
one more than 8 is 9
