Introduction
(10 minutes)
Gather the class together for a read-aloud.
Display Mimi's Book of Counting and ask the students how to count to 10. Have them count aloud with you.
Read the book aloud. As you read, ask guiding questions such as: "What do you see on this page?" "How many __ ___ ___ ______ __ ___ ___ ______ are there?" "Can you count along with me?"
Beginning
Review number names for 0–10 in English with the students by listening to number songs, counting objects, or echo counting.
Allow students to count in their home language (L1).
Intermediate
Have students turn and talk to share their thinking with a partner.
Review the concept of "How many?" by providing relevant examples (e.g., display a plate of carrot sticks or cookies and ask how many students see.)
