How Many Do You See?
Aligned to K.CC.B.5 — Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

What this lesson teaches
To find how many, we count each thing one time - whether they are in a line or spread all around.
Worked examples
Example 1
You see 6 stickers scattered on the table. Touch each one as you count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. There are 6.
Example 2
5 buttons are lined up in a row. Count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Now push them into a pile and count again — still 5.
Example 3
Move each toy to a new spot as you count it. That way you never count one toy twice or skip one.
Practice questions
- Count a line of 8 blocks.
- Count 5 toys that are spread on the floor.
- Touch each thing one time - how many did you count?

¿Cuántos ves?
Para saber cuántos hay, contamos cada cosa una sola vez - ya sea que estén en fila o esparcidas.
Ejemplo 1: Ves 6 calcomanías esparcidas en la mesa. Toca cada una mientras cuentas: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Hay 6.
Ejemplo 2: Hay 5 botones en fila. Cuéntalos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Ahora júntalos en un montón y cuenta otra vez — siguen siendo 5.
Ejemplo 3: Mueve cada juguete a un lugar nuevo mientras lo cuentas. Así nunca cuentas uno dos veces ni te saltas ninguno.
