Number Stairs and Counting

Slow and Steady Get Me Ready


Lesson Age 4 – Week 44Number Stairs and Counting


Today we tried counting a different way.  Taking 55 beans we make stairs with our beans by placing 1 bean on row 1, on row 2 add 2 beans, row 3 add 3 beans, and so on creating stairs with the last row with 10 beans.  Using squares would have looked more like squares, but ours still looked interesting ending up in a triangle pattern.  After I helped with the first 3 row, Fluttershy got the idea how to do it and finished the rest on her own.


Today's activity develops:




  • more awareness of counting consecutively

  • more awareness of one more as numbers increase

  • skill in placing numbers in numerical order
