Counting 0-5 Lesson Plans for Preschoolers

Learning to count requires so many skills! These counting 0-5 lesson plans for preschoolers will help your preschoolers learn to identify, count, and order numbers. With hands-on and engaging activities, plus a detailed scope and sequence for the whole unit, this is one math skill that will be a breeze to plan for.

Preschool Counting 0-5 Activities

This post will give you a detailed look at the counting 0-5 unit in the daily mathematics lessons for preschoolers.

When teaching young children, you have to plan for a large range of abilities. Preschool children learn and grow at different times, so when I sit down to plan lessons, I am challenged to develop appropriate activities that meet needs of all of my learners.

That’s why I created a preschool math curriculum so that I can ensure that the lessons, activities, and centers are designed to develop the math skills of every. single. learner. I knew it needed to spiral and review key concepts multiple times throughout the year, gradually increasing in difficulty. This approach is ideal because it covers math topics throughout the entire year. This allows children more time for mastery and an opportunity to increase the rigor of each lesson.

One of the most critical units of the whole curriculum is counting. Children begin with exposure to numbers 0-5. This sets the stage for how numbers work and the understanding that numbers represent a quantity. Developing number sense is the foundation for our preschool students and you’ll see many examples of how we infused it into our lesson plans on counting for preschoolers.

These counting lesson plans for preschoolers are perfect for helping you plan engaging and developmentally appropriate lessons and activities for your preschool students without loads of prep and time.

FAQ About Counting 0-5 with Preschoolers

How do children learn to count?

Children have an innate sense of number. They hear numbers and counting from birth when parents inevitably say, “Two more minutes!” All kidding aside, learning to count is the first stage in math development and it is easily fostered with everyday counting practice and hands-on practice.

How do you teach number sense to preschoolers?

Number sense refers to the understanding of how numbers work, not just simple counting. It will take some time for children to master these important skills. Number sense develops through multiple skills and requires lots of practice and repetition.

How do you teach counting in a fun way?

Preschool counting activities are embedded in daily life! Count the cars parked in the parking lot or the flowers growing in the weeds. Using hands-on manipulatives and fun counters can turn simple counting activities into counting games that your preschoolers beg to play. Singing math songs and reading books about math concepts also gives children extra math practice.

The first of three counting units, this unit focuses on developing number sense and one to one correspondence for numbers 0-5.

Art. 1281 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Term of validity of the exclusive right to a work

1. The exclusive right to a work is valid throughout the life of the author and seventy years, counting from January 1 of the year following the year of the author's death.

The exclusive right to a work created in co-authorship is valid throughout the life of the author who outlived other co-authors, and seventy years, counting from January 1 of the year following the year of his death.

2. For a work published anonymously or under a pseudonym, the exclusive right expires after seventy years, counting from January 1 of the year following the year of its lawful publication. If during the specified period the author of a work published anonymously or under a pseudonym discloses his identity or his identity leaves no further doubt, the exclusive right will be valid for the period established by paragraph 1 of this article.

3. The exclusive right to a work made public after the death of the author shall be valid for seventy years after the publication of the work, counting from January 1 of the year following the year of its publication, provided that the work was made public within seventy years after the death of the author.

4. If the author of a work was repressed and posthumously rehabilitated, the period of validity of the exclusive right shall be deemed extended and seventy years shall be calculated from January 1 of the year following the year of rehabilitation of the author of the work.

5. If the author worked during the Great Patriotic War or participated in it, the period of validity of the exclusive right established by this article is extended by four years.

< Article 1280. The right of the user of a computer program and database

Article 1282. The transfer of a work into the public domain >

1. Article 1281 establishes the duration of the exclusive right to a work. As already noted, in part four of the Civil Code, the period of validity of the exclusive right is determined, and not copyright in general, as provided for in Art. 27 of the Copyright Act.

The duration of copyright has always been a matter of debate in the legal literature. That the exclusive right should be valid during the lifetime of the author was beyond doubt. The issue was the duration of the exclusive right after the death of the author. At the same time, it was taken into account that the recognition of the author's creative merits should also be considered in the sense of the material support of his heirs. Given this circumstance, the duration of the exclusive right is constantly increasing with the development of copyright law.

Ultimately, when determining the duration of the exclusive right, it was taken as a basis that this period should protect the interests of the author and the first two generations of his heirs. Based on this, Art. 7 of the Berne Convention, the term of protection was established throughout the life of the author and 50 years after his death. However, subsequently, some European countries, and then the entire European Community, extended this period as well.

As stated in Council Directive of the European Community of 29.10.1993 on the unification of the duration of protection of copyright and certain related rights, "considering that the increase in the average life expectancy in the Community is such that the said duration is now insufficient to cover two generations", the Council established the term of protection "throughout the life of the author and then for seventy years after his death."

In 2004, the Copyright Act was amended to extend the term of protection in the same way.

Keeping the continuity of this position, in paragraph 1 of Art. 1281, the period of validity of the exclusive right is established throughout the life of the author and 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year following the year of the author's death. Moreover, if there was co-authorship, then the 70-year period is counted from January 1 of the year following the year of death of the co-author who died last.

Art. 8 of the 1993 EU Council Directive cited

However, it should be borne in mind that a permanent increase cannot be infinite. The term provided for in paragraph 1 of Art. 1281, already creates a situation in which the exclusive right can be valid for more than 100 and even up to 150 years. Copyright as a sphere of intersection of interests of right holders, users and consumers should always proceed from the balance of interests of these persons. Therefore, it seems that a further increase in the duration of the exclusive right may upset this balance.

2. Paragraphs 2-5 of the commented article establish special terms for the validity of the exclusive right based on external factors that influenced the author's creative activity and his own actions to exercise personal non-property rights.

The author could publish his work anonymously or under a pseudonym or not publish it at all during his life, leaving this issue to the discretion of the heirs. In such a situation, it is not always possible to apply the general time limit set out in paragraph 1.

Therefore, the exclusive right to a work published anonymously or under a pseudonym is valid for 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year following the year of its legal publication. However, in order to protect the interests of the author in paragraph 2 of Art. 1281 provides that the general duration of an exclusive right applies if the author reveals his identity or his identity is no longer in doubt. This raises the question of whether the heirs can reveal the identity of the author after his death. This issue has not been resolved in the Civil Code. Of course, the heirs should proceed from the express will of the author. If he did not express it in any way, then the heirs can reveal the identity of the author, in which case it will no longer leave doubts. In any case, the disclosure of the identity of the author must take place within the 70-year period established in paragraph 2 of the commented article.

3. A similar 70-year period is provided for cases where the publication of the work took place after the death of the author. At the same time, the issue of disclosure must be decided by the heirs in accordance with the will of the author, which is expressly provided for in paragraph 3 of Art. 1268 GK.

The work of the author during the Great Patriotic War or participation in it serves as a basis for extending the validity of the exclusive right for the duration of this war, i.e. for 4 years (clause 5).

4. Finally, due to the historical conditions of the development of our country, the exclusive right to a work created by an author who was repressed and posthumously rehabilitated also has a special validity period. In this case, the law can no longer protect the interests of the author himself, but can defend his heirs. Therefore, paragraph 4 specifically states that the term of the exclusive right in this case is considered extended and 70 years are calculated from January 1 of the year following the year of the author's rehabilitation.

5. Resolution of the Plenums of March 26, 2009 N 5/29 defines the procedure for applying a number of norms of the Civil Code regarding the procedure for determining the terms of protection of rights. According to the said Decree, by virtue of par. 1 st. 6 of the Introductory Law to the fourth part of the Civil Code, the terms of protection of rights provided for in Art. Art. 1281, 1318, 1327 and 1331 of the Civil Code apply in cases where the 50-year term of copyright or related rights has not expired by January 1, 1993.

According to par. 1 p. 1 art. 1281 of the Code, the exclusive right to a work is valid, as a general rule, throughout the life of the author and 70 years, counting from January 1 of the year following the year of the author's death.

Therefore, if the 50-year term of copyright in a work expired after December 31, 1992 (but before the entry into force of the Federal Law of July 20, 2004 N 72-FZ "On Amending the Law of the Russian Federation" On Copyright and Related Rights ", which established a 70-year term of copyright) and the work has passed into the public domain, from 01/01/2008 the exclusive right to this work is renewed and its term is calculated according to the rules provided for in Article 1281 of the Civil Code.

--------------------------------

SZ RF. 2004. N 30. Art. 3090.

Actions of persons who used, prior to the entry into force of part four of the Code, works that were in the public domain before 01.01.2008, and who observed the provisions of Art. 28 of the Copyright Law, despite the renewal of the exclusive right to a work, cannot be considered a violation. At the same time, further use of the work can be carried out only in compliance with the provisions of Part Four of the Civil Code.
