Amount Count LLC

Amount Count resources are nearly language-neutral.Using symbols in place of text for directions reduces the 'language-load' needed to understand activities and anticipated actions. This is a comprehensive glossary of symbols with examples as used in these supplemental resources.

Adding 3 amounts helps develop the concept in the standard 1.OA.2. This is one way for learners to use combining and counting strategies such as counting on, subitizing, skip counting, and recognizing arrays. There are 3 items per page.

Combining amounts to find “How Many?” helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.OA.2; 1.OA.3. This is a way for learners to use their knowledge of counting by 2s, using doubles, and doubles +1 to find a total. There are 3 items per page.

Recognizing examples of spatial ‘flips’ supports a K.G.2 skill. Share with the learners there is a reflection or mirror image of each item on the left side that matches to the right side of the page. Encourage them to demonstrate a reflection by putting the palms of their hands together and then opening them like a book.

Finding any three groups to equal the target amount helps develop the concepts in these standards: 1.NBT.2, 5; 2.OA.1. This is a way for learners to use their knowledge of counting by 10s and mentally adding 10s to reach a target total.

Finding any two groups to equal the target amount helps develop the concepts in these standards: 1.NBT.2, 5; 2.OA.1. This is a way for learners to use their knowledge of counting by 10s and mentally adding 10s to reach a target total.

Finding the missing minuend or subtrahend helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.OA.2, 3; K.NBT.1; 1.OA.1,6. This is a way for learners to use addition and subtraction strategies together and recognize amounts in arrays. There are 3 items on each page.

Adding, subtracting, and writing the results for 2 amounts helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.OA.2; K.NBT.1; 1.OA.1, 5. This is a way for learners to use strategies such as counting up and back, subitizing, skip counting, and recognizing arrays.

Finding the missing addends in either position helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.OA.2, 3; K.NBT.1; 1.OA.1, 6. This is a way for learners to use addition and subtraction strategies together and recognize amounts in arrays. There are 3 items per page.

Determining unique and similar attributes across combinations of categories such as shape, color, and amount supports K.MD.1,3 skills. Share that each picture or item has at least one feature the other 3 do not have, and that makes it ‘special.’

Counting and recording attributes such as color supports * PK-MD.2; K.MD.3; 1.MD.4 skills. Guide learners to share results with a partner and describe what comparisons their charts reveal about the items.

Determining whether a group of objects has an odd or even number by pairing or counting supports 1.OA.7; 2.OA.3 As an extension for this resource, write an equation based on the images to express an even number as a sum of two equal addends. If it is an odd amount, write an equation that makes the sum of an odd and even amount.

Finding the missing addends in each position helps develop the concepts in these standards: 1.OA.6; 2.OA.1; 2.NBT.1 This is a way for learners to use addition and subtraction strategies together and recognize amounts in arrays.

Counting to find the total amount of items and writing those amounts in base-ten notion of 10s and 1s, helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.CC.3, 5; K.NBT.1; 1.NBT.1,2. This is a way for learners to use different ways to count and group items to find “how many” as written in 10s and 1s.

Finding the missing addends and subtrahends helps develop the concepts in these standards : K.OA.2,4; 1.OA.7, 8. This is a way for learners to use addition and subtraction strategies together and recognize amounts in arrays. There are 3 items per page.

Finding any three groups to equal the target amount helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.OA.1; 1.OA.2; 2.OA.2. This is a way for learners to use their knowledge of combinations and adding strategies. Multiple responses are expected.

Finding any two groups to equal the target amount helps develop the concepts in these standards: K.CC.5; 1.OA.3, 6. This is a way for learners to use their knowledge of combinations and adding strategies. Multiple responses are expected.

Comparing amounts with the < = > symbols helps develop the concept in this standard: 1.NBT.3. This is also a way for learners to use their knowledge of recognizing amounts in arrays, circles, and linear formats, as well as using a number line. There are 2 items per page.

Finding any three groups to equal the target amount helps develop the concepts in these standards: 1.OA.3, 6; 2.OA.2. This is a way for learners to use their knowledge of combinations and adding strategies. An extension for this activity might be repeating it a few times to find other combinations to equal the target amount and writing the equations.

Finding any two groups to equal the target amount helps develop the concepts in these standards: 1.OA.3, 6; 2.OA.2. This is a way for learners to use their knowledge of combinations and adding strategies. An extension for this activity might be repeating it a few times to findother combinations to equal the target amount.
