Kids love to count things. This is a simple exercise, but a great way to get kids excited about arithmetic. Counting Collections also seeds ideas about how the place value system helps make counting work. Counting Collections is a foundational structure you can come back to again and again. We'll describe the initial launch first, and then some variations to make the activity more sophisticated.
