Unit 2, Lesson 18
Write Numbers to Represent Quantities
Kindergarten
Preparation
Lesson Narrative
Students count groups of objects and images and write numbers to show how many in each group. Writing numbers backwards (“reversals”) and incorrectly forming numbers is expected in kindergarten. The emphasis is on students writing a number that is recognizable to others with practice.
