Teacher tip

Use real or play pennies first: count them onto each row, then color. Say the price together, “three cents,” each time.

How to use it

  • Count real objects first, then pictures.
  • Have the student touch each picture once as they count.
  • Use the same words every time you use the page. Short, steady language helps it stick.

Watch for

Counting too fast and skipping pictures. Slow down and touch each one.

Talk about it

  • What would you do next?
  • Show me what you want.
