Synchrony+&+Tagging


 * Synchrony & Tagging**


 * Synchrony is simultaneous connection of a number word to each item counted. Tagging is the act of keeping track of each item counted by touching and moving the item as it is counted. These two skills are important for the development of correctly counting a group of items. It also helps the students develop a sense of the cardinality of numbers. **

**Example** **

A student is counting a set of five beans. The student will touch each bean and move it as s/he says the number word associated with that bean in the forward number word sequence. When the student touches and moves the fourth bean, s/he would say, "four." Click here to return to the Top Ten Early Numeracy Skills.
