What kids do
“Count the dots. Write the number in the middle. Write one less and one more.”
Teacher tip
Use a number line or a staircase of cubes: one step up, one step down.
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
- How did you keep track of what you already counted?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
Take it further
Play “I’m thinking of a number” with clues like more than 12 and less than 15.
