Owl's Counting Ways: Show How You Counted

A kindergarten counting lesson with Owl. Children count collections up to 10 three ways: touching each one, moving each one across a counting mat, and filling 5-frames. After counting, they pick the picture that shows how they counted, match a friend's words to the way she counted, and choose their own way to count a pile of acorns. Every direction is read aloud, and wrong answers get a spoken hint.
