MATERIAL:

Ten wooden rods varying in length from 1 decimeter to 1 meter. Each decimeter is colored alternately red and blue. Thus, the first rod is entirely red, the second, which is two decimeters long, is colored red and blue, and so on. These rods correspond in length to the red rods. A dark green floor mat is also needed.

PURPOSE:

To learn to count to ten and understand the value of each number. To learn the names “one” to “ten” and to associate the names with the quantities.
