{"product_id":"counting-inspectors-year-1-maths-unit","title":"Counting Inspectors - Year 1 Maths Unit","description":"\u003cp\u003eCounting Inspectors makes checking a count the purpose of the task. Students inspect the actual contents of each group, follow a running count and explain whether a claim is correct or needs fixing. They investigate missed or repeated groups, unequal groups, omitted singles and counts that stop at 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe five 45-minute lessons build from small groups to collections reaching 120. Students count, regroup the same objects and compare two valid totals. Worked examples, guided practice and independent tasks give students several ways to show their reasoning. Adults read directions and quiz questions aloud; students can speak, point, move counters, use pictures or a communication device, or have an adult record their response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e66-page Unit Plan PDF: cover\/contents, one quick-start page, five complete lesson-plan pages and 59 resource pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour colour teaching displays and one complete counting-by-2, 5 and 10 reference through 120.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNine black-and-white practice worksheets and nine matching red answer pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCounting Inspector kit: rules, worked model, 16 claim cards, sorting mat, grouping mat, blank records, matching example answers and two checking-guide pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Collection, Two Counts kit: rules and worked model, four grouping sheets containing 120 empty cells altogether, five banks containing 120 cut-out counters altogether, 12 task cards, two checking-guide pages, blank records and matching example answers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo independent counting checks with matching red answers; practical assessment guide, landscape observation record and four-level descriptive rubric.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditable teaching presentation: 24 slides.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditable quiz: 22 slides, including 10 questions and separate answer reveals with explanations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate Table of Contents JPEG.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e112-page watermarked Preview PDF: the complete unit plan followed by the presentation and quiz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLearning focus\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the contents of equal groups of 2, 5 or 10; distinguish groups from objects; count each group and single once; continue cumulative counts beyond 100; explain and repair a counting error; regroup the same collection and verify that the total is unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClassroom use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse for a five-lesson teaching week, explicit number teaching, guided maths groups and follow-up practice.
