Number Meanings and Counting

By Sunburst Software

Students develop their understanding of number meanings and uses while solving a variety of problems. Through engaging contexts, such as parades and games, students learn that numbers are symbols for specific quantities and that numbers can be represented in a variety of ways – for example, with numerals, tallies, words, or drawings.  With this software program students will be able to: use numbers to count, to tell how many things are in a group and to describe the order of objects, use numbers to make comparisons, use numbers to measure distance, create a set of groups where groups match a target number, estimate distances and quantities, arrange different numbers of objects in different ways, identify the number of objects in an arrangement without counting, and identify different visual patterns for the same number of objects.
