Children need lots of experience in counting sets of objects, comparing sets, ordering sets
and combining sets. Using the Six Bricks Counting Objects 1-10 activity mat, every teacher
can engage children in lots of counting and problem-solving activities while conversing in
the language of mathematics.

Learning objectives
The child should be enabled to -
• Count the number of objects in a set, 1-10 e.g. how many footballs are there in the box?
• Count regular arrays or rows before random groups e.g. let’s count to see how many

cars?
• Compare non-equivalent sets 1-10 e.g. which is more, motorbikes or more cubes?
• Order sets of objects by number, 1-10 e.g. the smallest number is the teddy set, just 1;
next are the 2 ducks, then the 3 cubes, which set would be next?

Teacher questions
• How many rugby balls are in the first box? Mark the number on the number line with a
brick.
• How many pink flowers are in the box? Indicate on the number line.
