Teacher tip
Ask kids to cross off each shape as they count it. The graph is only as good as the count.
How to use it
- Let early counters use real cubes on top of the pictures.
- Count out loud as a class first, then let kids count in a whisper voice on their own.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Kids who recount the whole group instead of counting on. Ask, “You already know there are 5 here. What comes next?”
Talk about it
- Which group has more? How much more?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
Take it further
Go on a counting walk around the school and record what you find on a tally chart.
