Keep Counting From Here
Aligned to K.CC.A.2 — Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

What this lesson teaches
We do not always start at 1 - we can start at any number and keep counting up.
Worked examples
Example 1
Start at 6 and keep going: 7, 8, 9, 10. You do not have to say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 first.
Example 2
You already counted 12 blocks. A friend brings more, so keep going from there: 13, 14, 15. You do not start over at 1.
Example 3
Start at 9 and count on: 10, 11, 12. The next number is always one more than the one you just said.
Practice questions
- Start at 4 and count to 10.
- A friend says 7 - what number comes next?
- Start at 12 and say the next three numbers.

Sigue contando desde aquí
No siempre empezamos en el 1 - podemos empezar en cualquier número y seguir contando hacia arriba.
Ejemplo 1: Empieza en el 6 y sigue: 7, 8, 9, 10. No tienes que decir 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 primero.
Ejemplo 2: Ya contaste 12 bloques. Un amigo trae más, así que sigue desde ahí: 13, 14, 15. No empiezas otra vez en 1.
Ejemplo 3: Empieza en 9 y sigue contando: 10, 11, 12. El siguiente número siempre es uno más que el que acabas de decir.
