“Write the numbers in order from the smallest to the biggest.”
Teacher tip
Let kids write each number on a sticky note and slide them into order first.
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?
Take it further
Play “I’m thinking of a number” with clues like more than 12 and less than 15.
