The Count is an activity from John SanGiovanni's book that turns simple counting into a deep mathematical exploration. In this episode, learn how this routine helps elementary students engage with Math Practice #7 by looking for and making use of mathematical structure. We'll break down how a seemingly simple counting sequence can develop number sense, encourage mathematical thinking, and create a low-pressure environment for pattern recognition. 

Key Takeaways:

• Learn what "The Count" activity is and how to implement it

• Understand how counting can develop deeper mathematical thinking

• Questions to help students look for and use the patterns created by the structure of numbers
