10 Little Horseshoes
Horseshoe Hailey is back in her last book in her Math Series. Practice counting groups of objects to answer the question "how many?". Learn how to compare groups of objects and numbers using greater than, less than, or equal to.
Connections to Kindergarten StandardsKnow number names and the count sequence.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.2Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.3Count to tell the number of objects.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4.AWhen counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4.BUnderstand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4.CUnderstand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.5Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.Compare numbers.CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.C.6Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.
