Watch this 4-year old as he counts the number of stones.
See if you can notice what he knows and what he does not know.

 

Here are some things we see and hear that he does know:
–  the number sequence correctly up to 14
–  to touch each stone as we count
–  to restart after he has lost track of the count

Here are some things that he doesn’t know:
–  the number sequence after 14
–  how to keep track of which items were counted and which were not counted.
You might want to watch him again to to observe this.
