In Prep/Grade 1 we have been investigating the learning question: “How can we count collections of objects efficiently and accurately?”.

We have been learning all about place value, and how to write 2 and 3-digit numbers using our knowledge of hundreds, tens and ones.

The students have then applied this knowledge to counting large collections of objects, by first sorting the objects into groups of tens, then skip counting by tens, and adding the ones on at the end to find the total number.

Some students have taken this further and counted even larger collections by using groups of hundreds, tens and ones.
