One More Each Time
Each successive counting number represents a quantity that is one larger than the previous number
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Each next counting number means one more object. If you have 5 and get one more, you have 6. You can say the next number instead of recounting every object from one.
Spend about 10 minutes adding one object to small sets and naming the new total.
