## Ready when they can

- Recite the number sequence 1–100 without skipping or repeating
- Count backward from 20 to 0
- Count forward starting from a number other than 1 (e.g. 'start at 23')

## Lesson: Counting all the way to 100

You count to know how many stickers you have. After 1 comes 2. After 2 comes 3. You say each number once, all the way to 100.

*(drawing: Count forward one by one, all the way to 20.)*

**Example.** Priya starts counting at 47. She keeps going: 47, 48, 49, 50, 51. She does not go back to 1.

Counting backward means going down. After 10 comes 9, not 11. Try counting back from 20 to 0.

**Recap.** Say each number once, in order, forward or backward, without stopping.
