Number sense can only develop if children are given many varied experiences of finding out "How many?" and are allowed to come to an understanding about number in their own time and way. Daily, we provide opportunities to look, find out, to notice, to ponder, to wonder, and to think about numbers.
During this activity we played a game called What's Hiding? Not only did we practice counting, but we were able to find out what happens to numbers when they are hidden from view and moved around. Even though the number was hidden, we were able to come to an understanding that it doesn't change. Cool!
