What kids do

“Count along each number line. Write the missing numbers in the boxes.”

Teacher tip

Some lines start in the middle of the hundreds. Ask kids to read the first number aloud before counting on.

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

Set up a counting jar at the center and have kids estimate before they count.
