4:
Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
a. When 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.
b. Understand 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.
c. Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.

I absolutely loved this example of how to incorporate literature with numbers. Kids love books and they love talking about it and this kind of book really helps the students with their listening skills and mathematics to figure out how many buttons. The students seemed to really enjoy the graphics but also enjoyed using their critical thinking to answer the teacher's questions. I think the idea to read the book then put it into an activity where the kids physically hold the buttons and count them out aloud allows them to relate to the book and also express their math skills in a fun setting.

The book that Ms. Surita used is a great idea to work on two different subjects without the students even realizing it. It is also a great way to spike the interest of the students by reading them a story and then taking the topic from the story and making it a lesson. This was a great video and idea.

I have collected my math-related books that I like to use to introduce different math themes. Kids love the read-aloud, and they love having access to the books later to re-read!

Cross corriculum learning is such a great tool. Students learn is so many different ways. I loved seeing how you differenited your lesson to fullfil the many learning styles of your students.
