The students are working on meaningful counting. You can help by making sure that when a child says a number he or she points and pulls the object into a bile.
Thank you,

Things to try
Practice saying number words forward and backward in the range 1-20. Have the child start at different numbers other than 1 or 10. Ask a child what comes before various numbers and what comes after. Extend beyond 10 as the child is ready.
Show a child written numerals 1-20 and ask him/her to say the number word for each symbol. Say the correct number word if the child does not know.
Show a child an uncovered collection of items (repeat using 3, 7, 12, 16, 18). Ask the child to tell how many there are. Notice if the child attempts to say number words while touching the objects rather than just making a guess. After the child answers, ask again,So how many is that? to see if the child understands that the last word tells the amount in the collec-tion (cardinality) rather than the word of the last item only (ordinality). If the child recounts to answer, they may not have yet developed the idea that each number word enumerates the en-tire group.
Ask a child to show quantities on his/her fingers. Notice if the child builds the quantity from one or is able to show the fingers simultaneously. Show quanti-ties on your fingers and ask the child to tell how many. Also you can show the child 3 as an example and then get him or her to write 3 on a piece of paper or you can make numbers with playdough as another activity. Presently we are working on shapes and numbers 1-5, position words, and same/di fferent sizes. For the rest of the year we will be concentrating on adding and subtractin 1-20. We will be counting forward and backwards to the numeral 30. Students will also be working on recognizing, writing ,and making numerals up to 30. For the rest of the year, we will be working on place value- ones, tens (teenagers), and twenty. We will eventually work on thirty to 101... The learners will also be focusing on 5 frames and 10 frames.
