How would you enable children to count any quantity and identify numerals
till 9999?
1. This should preferably be done as a groups exercise.
2. Invite a few children have done the previous exercises.
3. Bring the material to a table/ mat with the help of the child.
4. Spread the mat on the table and lay out the material in the correct order.
5. The children stand in front of the table and the teacher at the back. The material
should be in correct order facing the children.
6. Begin with only one hierarchy, until the children are doing the work easily.
7. Put a quantity on the tray. e,g put four hundred squares on the tray.
8. Show it to the group and ask: "Who can count how much is this?"
9. When a child has answered correctly, put the material back on the table.
10. Then put another quantity, e, g 3 thousand cubes, on the tray and ask another
child to count it.
11. Continue the exercise in this way.
12. If a child does not participate, announce while you make a number that the
quantity is for Ali to count. Everyone else watch Ali quietly.
When the children can easier count quantities from one hierarchy separately, use
quantities from more than two hierarchies. E,g 4 thousands and 7 hundreds in the
tray and ask a child to count it. Also do the extension exercise with quantities from
more than one hierarchy.
Continue the exercise till the children can count any quantity 9999.
