The
One Minute Teacher
Does
Counting by 8s to 120 (Page
1)
Rationale:
Being able to do fluent count-bys is helpful with multiplication (forward)
and division (backwards) computation where the student is dealing with
the same number again and again. Using recursive patterns to teach count-bys
illustrates the relationships between numbers and makes them easier to
learn. In recursive patterns, numbers are presented to show the minimal
change in the pattern.
Materials:
The numbers as printed below. A second blank sheet of paper to
cover numbers for the memory task.
8 16 24 32 40 (5)
48 56 64 72 80
(10)
88 96 104 112 120 (15)
Rote
Counting by 8s. See and Say Numbers
This task should be done for a couple of minutes each day until the student
counts quickly and easily without errors at 300/counts per minute.
Task
1: Counting by 8s to 80
Say to the student, "Now we are going to learn to count by 8s. I
am going to count by 8s to 80. I will touch each number and say it. Listen.
8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80. Listen again." Touch each
number from 8 to 80 and say it again. "8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56,
64, 72, 80."
Say, "Count from 8 to 80 with me. I will touch the numbers. When
I touch the number we will both say them. Ready." (Signal). Touch
each number and count from 8 to 80 with the student. Say, "Good job,
you did it. You counted from 8 to 80. Let's do that again. Count with
me. Ready." (Signal) Touch
each number and count with the student. "8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56,
64, 72, 80. Good work."
"Now
try that all by yourself. Ready." (Signal) Student counts from 8
to 80. "Do that one more time. Ready." (Signal) Student repeats
task. Say, "Super job!"
Correction
Procedure:
If
the student cannot count from 8 to 80 without making errors, chage the
task. Review counting to 40 until the student is fluent at 300 counts/minute.
Add the numbers to 80 and teach them. Then try the task again.
Task
2: Counting by 8s from 88 to 120
Repeat Task 1 for numbers 88 to 120.
