The lesson is for comparing number values 1 through 10. It gives students practice with concrete objects and placing them in order from least to greatest and greatest to least. 

The first day of Kindergarten is long anticipated by parents and young students. Students expect school to be a dynamic and safe place to learn, an objective that is realized immediately by their involvement in purposeful and meaningful action. In Topics A and B, classification activities allow students to analyze and observe their world and articulate their observations. Reasoning and dialogue begin immediately. In Topics C, D, E, and F, students order, count, and write up to ten objects to answer ‘how many’ questions from linear, to array, to circular, and finally to scattered configurations wherein they must devise a path through the objects as they count. In Topics G and H, students use their understanding of relationships between numbers to recognize that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one greater and that the number before is one less.
