Label 10 workstations (desks, tables, carpet areas, etc.) with a sticky note containing a letter A - J. Place a number of cubes at each station (I use 11 - 20, but you can customize this activity to suit your counting needs). Make a copy of the recording sheet for each student (I usually record the number of cubes at each station on a recording sheet for my benefit). Students then rotate through each station counting the cubes and recording the answer on their recording sheet.

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. CC.K.CC.4a
