What kids do
“Count the shapes in each box. Write how many.”
Teacher tip
Ask kids to put a small dot on each shape as they count. Groups with shapes in a scatter are harder than rows, so watch those boxes.
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
- Did you count by ones, or did you see a group right away?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
