Students will count up to 20 objects arranged randomly or scattered, developing strategies to keep track (such as moving objects aside or marking them). They answer 'how many?' accurately regardless of arrangement.
Real questions from this skill, graded here. No account, and nothing is saved.

Scattered things still get counted.
Each thing is one.
12 apples all over the table. Touch each one once and say a number. The number stays on it, so you never count it twice.
When things are scattered, it is easy to skip one or count one twice.
A number that stays on an apple shows it is counted.
To count out a number, touch and say until you reach it, then stop.
Touch each one once. The last number is how many.
Counting the same apple twice because it was not marked.
Only touch apples that have no number yet.
You touch each apple once, and the last number you say is 16. How many apples? — 16. The last number is how many: 16 apples.
Look at all these dots! They're scattered all over the page. How many do you think there are?
When things are jumbled up, we use a trick: touch each one and say its number out loud, so we don't miss any.
Let's start. One... two... three.
Four... five... six. Keep going!
Seven... eight... nine. Almost there.
Ten... eleven... twelve!
Twelve dots in all. When you touch each one, scattered things are easy to count. Great job!
