We are working on counting to five in our 3 year old class. All of the kids can count to five, but recognizing the number and being able to to have 1:1 correspondence is tough! So we got out the big dice. We worked with a partner and took turns rolling the dice. We then had to count the dots that were rolled and find the correct number acorn. If we couldn't find the numeral that matched the dots, we had to count the dots on the acorns to find the match.
This was really hard for the majority of our threes. To help, you can put out a pile of items. Have your child count each item (touch the item while they are counting) and move that item off to the side. You can also have your child make a group of 5 (or other number) from the pile of items. Having them count and touch the items while they are counting, will help them with the 1:1 correspondence.
