, Question 1
1.1 1) Stage 0 Emergent counting. The child cannot count visible items.
ACTIVITY : When asked on the mat “Give me 3 blocks”… a collection of blocks will be given. A child will count
some blocks twice or skip one or two items. When asked to count the blocks an attempt to count them in ones
was performed but not accurately.
2) Stage 1 - Perceptual counting - The student who is a perceptual counter can count items that he or she can
perceive (see, hear or touch). A perceptual counter will demonstrate the one-to-one principle without skipping
or double-counting items. At this stage perceiving of items is needed. Visible counters wil be counted by
touching each one.
ACTIVITY: I will ask learner to fill up 2 nests with 3 little clay eggs. Learner touch and put egge one by one in
nest.
3) Stage 2 - Figurative counting. The learner can count items in screened collection, but always start from 1.
The learner match the sequence of counting words to figural items rather than perceptual ones.
ACTIVITY : Two collections with counters must be added. One collection has 5 counters and the next has 6
counters. Counting on does not exist. So the learner count first collection from 1 and continue to the next
collection: 1,2,3,4,5,………6,7,8,9,10,11.
4) Stage 3 – Initial number sequence. The learner uses counting on rather than counting from one.
ACTIVITY: 7+ [ ] = 15. Learner uses counting on to figure out what number is missing. I have 7 and count on
8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15. The answer is 8.
5) Stage 5 - Facile number sequence – This is a non-count-by-ones strategy, including compensation and known
facts.
