How Many?: Quantifying and Representing (Contexts for Learning Mathematics)

This unit focuses on the early development of quantifying and representing number with symbols and is a kindergarten unit in the Contexts for Learning Mathematics series. It is designed to be used as a companion unit with My Favorite Collections--a previous CFLM unit where students collected and organized favorite items, and sorted, compared and categorized them. This unit, designed as an extension to that work, supports students to count, group, and label quantities up to 100 as they continue to collect, add, and remove items in their favorite collections. As they work, students notice place value patterns in our number system.
