Counting

By the end of Grade 1 students are expected to:

1. count forward by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s to 100, using a variety of tools and strategies (e.g., move with steps; skip count on a number line; place counters on a hundreds chart; connect cubes to show equal groups; count groups of pennies, nickels, or dimes);
2. count backwards by 1’s from 20 and any number less than 20 (e.g., count backwards from 18 to 11), with and without the use of concrete materials and number lines;
3. count backwards from 20 by 2’s and 5’s, using a variety of tools (e.g., number lines, hundreds charts);

This an area where children can practise at home as well. We have started by using 100s charts  and will continue with number lines.

  

There are also multiple songs students can sing along to:
