This lesson is a pivotal part of the "Counting and Cardinality up to 20" unit, aimed at nurturing young learners' ability to understand and apply numbers in everyday contexts. Through a series of carefully selected activities, including the "Counting Worksheet: Preschool Math," "Count and Match 6 – 10 Math Worksheet," "Count and Match Points 9 Math Worksheet," and the "Kindergarten Number Tracing: Mary's Bag Worksheet," students will enhance their counting skills, learn to match quantities to numerals, and practice number tracing for digits 6 through 10.
