Sweet Dreams develops fluency in counting quantities to ten. Several counting principles are developed.These include: the one-to-one rule, the cardinality rule and the order of irrelevance rule. These activities provide students with the opportunity to listen to a story about counting quantities 1–10, use concrete materials to represent and count quantities 1–10, use the Teaching Tool to represent and count quantities 1–10, show different arrangements of the same quantity, mix-and-match numerals, number words and pictures and count on and back from any starting number 1–10.
