The document summarizes a presentation on developing a deeper understanding of primary math concepts through less rote counting and memorization. It discusses current counting models that rely heavily on memorization and proposes alternative approaches focusing on visualization and conceptual understanding. These include using subitizing to recognize small quantities, teaching number names in a way that reflects place value, and place value cards to build understanding of our base-ten number system. The presenters argue this will lead to longer retention and a stronger math foundation compared to traditional counting models.
