This class is for learners who are learning to count and specifically one-to-one object counting skills. We will count objects up to 12. I will use the fun book "The M&M's Counting Book" by Barbara Barbieri McGrath to guide our lesson. We will count up to 12 and not only rote, but work on actually touching an object and using the more advanced skill of one-on-one object counting. Not only will we work on counting, the learner will have to sort the objects by colors. We will arrange the objects in patterns and different shapes. I will walk the learner through simple subtraction equations, so they can actually see objects being taken away. I will teach the learner how to touch and move the object to make sure it is counted only once or not missed. Through the entire lesson your learner will have to listen to directions and after seeing a task performed try to duplicate the task. We will physically sort and shape the objects and then we will try to replicate the design by drawing it. *counting objects will be needed, but does not have to be m&m's*

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a master's degree in the art of teaching and was a full time kindergarten teacher. Rote counting (counting out loud without objects) is one of the most basic math skills that a child can learn. Many times when a child is forced to count objects this task becomes much more advanced. Learners will frequently count too fast and miss an object or count an object twice. Practicing this skill and working on actually moving the object will help your learner to not make simple mistakes.
Many different skills/topics will be covered in this lesson and the m&m's just make it fun :)Reviews
