Begin by reading Ten Little
Fish by Audrey Wood (Blue

counting fish that are lined


up and counting fish that
arescatterednot in a line
or a circleon the page. Ask
for children's ideas about
keeping track when counting
the scattered fish.
Gather the class in a circle to
create a pretend "pond."
Choose seven children to be
fish and have them sit in
arow in the middle of the
pond. Remind children of
Gotcha, the game in which
they show "thumbs-up" if you
count correctly and "thumbsdown" if you make a counting
mistake (Lesson 1-3). Tell
children to use their thumbs
to show whether you count
the fish correctly. Count
children in the middle one at
a time, gently tapping each
child as you count. Ask: How
many fish are in the pond?

Have the same seven


children sit in a small circle
within the class circle. Count
the children, intentionally
miscounting by counting the
first child a second time at
the end. Ask a child who
shows thumbs-down to
explain your counting error.
Then ask: Was it harder to
count children when they
were in a row or in a circle?
Why? Sample answer: It's
harder to count when they're
in a circle because you might
forget where to stop. GMP1.2
Point out that although the
children are sitting in a
different arrangement, the
number of children hasn't
changed. There are still
seven children. Discuss ways
to keep track of where to
begin and end counting, such
as having the first child
counted raise a hand to show
where to start and stop or by
moving children into a line.
Count the group again with
the class using the

suggested strategies.
GMP1.2, GMP1.6, GMP6.4
Next have the same seven
children move so they are
randomly scattered within the
class circle. Have the class
use their thumbs to monitor
you while you intentionally
miscount the new
arrangement in the pond. Ask
a child to explain your error.
Elicit strategies for keeping
track of children while
counting, such as having
them stand as they are
counted. Test children's
strategies while re-counting
the scattered group. GMP1.2,
GMP1.6, GMP6.4 Again
discuss why the total number
doesn't change if the objects
are simply moved around.
Continue to help the class
practice counting children in
different arrangements as
needed.
Distribute blue paper and a
bag of counters to
partnerships. Demonstrate
how to place the fish

(close together and spread
out), in a circle, in rows, or in
groups. Explain that one
partner should arrange the
fish in the pond and the other
should count to see how
many fish. Tell partners to
confirm each other's counts
before trading roles. If
needed, provide small cubes
children can use to mark
objects already counted. If
time permits, have children
switch bags of counters with
another pair.
GMP1.2,GMP6.4
Conclude by charting the
counting strategies children
used with a sketch and a few
words. (For example: Mark
the starting object. Line up
the objects.) GMP1.6,
