Build strong number sense with this 2-week Kindergarten Magic of Math unit focused on counting, writing, representing, and ordering numbers to 10! This unit provides everything you need to help students develop a deep understanding of numbers through hands-on exploration, visual models, and engaging activities.
Students will practice counting, writing, and representing numbers in multiple ways, helping them build foundational number sense and prepare for future math skills.
The unit is designed with a progressive learning structure across two weeks:
Week 1: Count and Represent Numbers to 10
Students are introduced to representing numbers using objects, ten frames, tally marks, and numerals. Lessons focus on counting sets with one-to-one correspondence and connecting quantities to numbers.
