Counting Principles Recap

The one-one principle means ...

• Children understand when counting, the number have to be said in a certain order

• This involves children assigning one number name to each object

• Children understand that the number name assigned to the final object is a group is the total number of objects in that group

• this involves children understanding that the order we count a group of objects is irrelevant. There will still be the same number.

Stable-order principle means ...

• this involves children understanding that the order we count a group of objects is irrelevant. There will still be the same number.

• This involves children understanding that anything can be counted including things that cannot be touched including sounds and movements e.g jumps

• Children understand that the number name assigned to the final object is a group is the total number of objects in that group

• Children understand when counting, the number have to be said in a certain order

The cardinal principle means ....

• Children understand that the number name assigned to the final object is a group is the total number of objects in that group

• this involves children understanding that the order we count a group of objects is irrelevant. There will still be the same number.

• This involves children assigning one number name to each object

• Children understand when counting, the number have to be said in a certain order

The abstraction principle means ...

• this involves children understanding that the order we count a group of objects is irrelevant. There will still be the same number.

• Children understand that the number name assigned to the final object is a group is the total number of objects in that group

• Children understand when counting, the number have to be said in a certain order

• This involves children understanding that anything can be counted including things that cannot be touched including sounds and movements e.g jumps

The order-irrelevance principle means ...

• This involves children assigning one number name to each object

• Children understand when counting, the number have to be said in a certain order

• this involves children understanding that the order we count a group of objects is irrelevant. There will still be the same number

• This involves children understanding that anything can be counted including things that cannot be touched including sounds and movements e.g jumps

Cardinal means ......

• a position of something in an order e.g 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd in a race

• labelling a set to say how many e.g counting coins

• a way to label something e.g a bus number

Nominal means .....

• means labelling a set to say how many e.g counting coins.

• a position of something in an order e.g 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd in a race

• a way to label something e.g a bus number

Ordinal means .....

• a position of something in an order e.g 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd in a race

• labelling a set to say how many e.g counting coins

• means a way to label something e.g a bus number

Bonus Question: Subitise means ...

• This involves children assigning one number name to each object

• instantly recognise a small quantity, without having to count how many there are

• principle Children understand when counting, the number have to be said in a certain order
