The
One-Minute Teacher
Teaches
Rote Counting Skills From 10 to 20
(Page 1)
Rationale:
In this exercise we will teach rote counting from 10 to 20 and practice
until the fluency level of 300 counts/minute with 2 or fewer errors is
reached. Now that the student has met the fluency standard for counting
to 10, we can add the next step.
Teaching the next ten digits has a particular problem because of the way
we say their names. With most 2 digit numbers we say the first digit and
then the second digit (e.g. 21 is said as twenty-one). With some teen
numbers, we say the digit in the ones column first (e.g. 17 is said as
seventeen). This lack of consistency can be confusing to beginning students.
Then there are numbers which have entirely different names (eleven, twelve,
thirteen, fifteen, and twenty.) You don't say fiveteen, but you do say
sixteen. Again a potentially confusing situation. To avoid confusion we
will model and lead the student through this series.
Materials:
The numbers from 10 to 20 printed below. A second blank sheet of paper.
10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Rote
Counting from 10 to 20. See and Say Numbers from 10 to 20.
This task should be done for a couple of minutes each day until the student
counts to 20 quickly and easily without errors.
Task
1: Counting from 10 to 15.
Cover the numbers from 16 to 20 with the blank sheet of paper. Say to
the student, "Now we are going to learn to count. I am going to count
from 10 to 15. I will touch each number and say it. Listen." Touch
each number from 10 to 15 and say it. "10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Listen
again." Touch each number from 10 to 15 and say it again. "10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15."
Say,
"Count from 10 to 15 with me. I will touch the numbers. When I touch
the number we will both say it. Ready." (Signal) Touch each number
and count from 10 to 15 with the student. Say, "Good job. You did
it. You counted from 10 to 15. Let’s do that again. Count with me.
Ready." (Signal) Touch each number and count with the student. "10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Good work."
Say,
"Now try that all by yourself. Touch each number and count from 10
to 15. Ready." (Signal). Watch the student touch each number and
listen to the child count from 10 to 15. Say, "You did it. Good counting.
Do that for me one more time. Ready." (Signal) Repeat task. Say,
"Excellent, you are learning to count well."
Correction
Procedure:
If the child cannot count to 15 without making errors, change the task
and count from 10 to 13. Cover up all of the numbers after 13. When the
child can count to thirteen without making mistakes uncover the next two
numbers and count to 15. Make sure the student can count to 15 quickly
and accurately before you begin Task 2.
