Overview

Counting Forward and Backward

What You'll Learn

Recognize that counting forward means saying numbers in increasing order, such as 3, 4, 5, 6.

Recognize that counting backward means saying numbers in decreasing order, such as 8, 7, 6, 5.

Use a number line to see each number's position and move one step at a time in either direction.

Practice starting counts from any number, not just from 1 or 10, to build flexible number sense.

Connect counting backward to real situations like a launch countdown or emptying a jar one item at a time.

What You'll Practice

Counting forward and filling in the next number in a sequence

Counting backward and identifying the previous number

Completing number sequences going both forward and backward
