a complex topic for young children.

More abstract counting, putting the numbers in order with rote counting.

Gelman’s counting principles

How to Count- the way to execute a count one-one stable-order cardinal

What to Count- what can be counted abstraction order-irrelevance Gelman, R & Gallistel, C. (1978) The Child’s Understanding of Number.

Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press.

One-one says a unique name for each and every item

Page 15: Language Experiences that Develop Mathematical Understanding in the Early years- Number

Stable-order – always says the names in the same order (and the order does not always agree with convention)

Page 16: Language Experiences that Develop Mathematical Understanding in the Early years- Number

Cardinal – knows the last name said applies to the entire set.

Page 17: Language Experiences that Develop Mathematical Understanding in the Early years- Number

Abstraction – knows what can be counted (discrete/continuous)

the dolls the juice the dollars

Page 18: Language Experiences that Develop Mathematical Understanding in the Early years- Number

Order-irrelevance – order of the count is not important

Page 19: Language Experiences that Develop Mathematical Understanding in the Early years- Number

Conservation principle – the arrangement of a collection of objects does not change the count
