How it is taught

Teen numbers keep going in order.

The number between 12 and 14 is 13.

Read it: Count forward by ones

Start at 7 and count forward 1: you land on 8. Each step forward is 1 more.

  1. Start at 7.
  2. Count forward 1.
  3. Say where you land: 8.

Counting forward goes up by 1 each step.

8 comes right after 7, so it is 1 more.

You can start at any number and say the next one.

Counting forward 1 is saying the next number.

Going back to 1 and counting all the way to 8.

Start at 7 and say the next number: 8.

What is 1 more than 5? — 6. 6 comes right after 5.

Count from 14 to 20

Today we're going to count forward. We'll start at fourteen and count all the way up to twenty.

Here's a number line. It shows the numbers from thirteen up to twenty.

We start at fourteen. That's our beginning number.

Hop one step forward. After fourteen comes... fifteen!

Hop again. Next is sixteen.

One more hop — seventeen.

Keep going... eighteen.

Almost there. Nineteen.

And one more hop... twenty! We made it!
