Strategies for Teaching Students to Count to 20

When you teach your students to count, one of the first things is to ensure they take an interest in your lessons. The more interest they take, the better they would learn. While there exist several techniques to teach, you should always go for the most innovative methods. Consider introducing activities filled with creativity in the most boring lessons. Chances are, you will have your students learn better. Fruit Counting - When you incorporate day-to-day activities in your lesson plans, students find your techniques more relevant. Fruit counting can be quite impactful when done right. You can have your students bring fruits to the classroom and ask them to count the many fruits they have on the table. As a result, learning to count will be less boring for them. Counting the Steps - One of the most fun ways for students to learn counting is counting their steps. You can start by writing the numbers on the stairs. Draw patterns to teach them without forcing them to learn. In this way, they will have numbers carved in their brain quite effortlessly. You can also take them to the school playground and have them collect any object they like. Conclude the activity by having them count the objects in their possession. If your students are only just starting to learn to count, you can even put a limitation on the number of objects they are to collect. As a result, learning to count will become a fun activity for them.
