Kindergarten math · Unit 1: Counting to 20

First, second, third

What this lesson shows

An apple, a ball, a car, a star, and a cup in a line. From the left, the car is third and the cup is fifth.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: the third from the left. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

  1. Find the start
  2. Touch each one
  3. Say first, second, third
  4. Stop at the place asked

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. Point to the end the arrow starts from, then your kid says "first, second, third" while touching each thing, and circles the one asked.

If your kid gets stuck

Start where the arrow starts. Say first, second, third.
