Strategize to count 9 objects in circular (around a paper plate) and scattered configurations printed on paper. Write numeral 9. Represent a path through the scatter count with pencil. Number each object.

In this lesson, students continue to work with the number 9. First they arrange and count objects in a scattered configuration. They strategize how to represent a path through their configuration. Then they organize and count their items in a circular formation. Finally, students practice writing the numeral 9 on paper.
