What kids do
“Count the dots on each side of the domino. Write how many in all.”
Teacher tip
Real dominoes on the table make this a great math center.
How to use it
- Ask kids to touch each item as they count, and to cross it off if they lose track.
- Do one row together with a ten frame on the board so kids see the five and the ten.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Kids who say the numbers faster than they touch the objects. Slow the pointing down.
Talk about it
- What number comes next? How do you know?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
Take it further
Set up a counting jar at the center and have kids estimate before they count.
