Course 5400 Classroom Technology Tool
Kindergarten – Early Childhood Education (Math: Counting & Cardinality)
State Academic Standard [Link].B.4– Count to tell the number of
objects. Understand the relationship
between numbers and quantities; connect
counting to cardinality.
ISTE Standard ISTE 1.6– Creative Communicator
Students communicate clearly and express
themselves creatively using platforms,
tools, styles, formats, and digital media
appropriate to their goals.
Learning Objectives Aligned with Content Students will accurately count objects up to
Standards 20 and demonstrate understanding of
cardinality by identifying that the last
number counted represents the total number
of object
Learning Objective Aligned with ISTE Students will use a digital tool to visually
Standard represent a counted set of objects and
communicate their counting strategy using
images or audio.
Classroom Technology Tool Seesaw
Lesson Experiences Using the Tool The teacher models counting objects and
demonstrates how to record work in
Seesaw. Students are given a set of
classroom objects (blocks or toys) to count
up to 20. After counting, students use
Seesaw to take a photo of their counted set
and record a short audio explanation
describing how they counted and what the
total number is. This allows students to
demonstrate both mathematical
understanding and oral language skills.
Example of Tech Tool with Lesson A student counts 15 blocks, takes a picture
of the arranged blocks in Seesaw, and
records a message stating: “I counted my
blocks one by one. The last number I said
was 15, so I have 15 blocks.” The teacher
reviews submissions and provides feedback
directly within the app.
Risk 1 + Mitigation Risk: Young students may struggle with
navigating the technology independently.
Mitigation: The teacher provides explicit
modeling, step by step guidance, and pairs
students for peer support during technology
use.
Risk 2 + Mitigation Risk: Limited access to devices or technical
issues may interrupt the lesson.
Mitigation: The teacher can prepare a
non-digital backup activity where students
draw their counted objects and verbally
explain their counting to the teacher.
Risk 3 + Mitigation Risk: Privacy concerns related to student
work being shared digitally.
Mitigation: Seesaw privacy settings are
configured so that student work is visible
only to the teacher and approved family
members, and no personal information is
shared publicly.
