One-to-One Correspondence with Child 15
A child counts an organized collection of bears.
Focus on the Child videos are taken from one-on-one interviews with individual children. The interviews are designed to elicit evidence of children’s mathematical thinking. They are not teaching episodes or formal assessments.
Why is this important?
Children often sort collections into groups by color. Here, a preschooler assumes he has equal groups until he counts them.
