Sample Activities:

 

·        Kindergarten students play the hide the pennies game. The first player places a number of pennies (say 7) on the table and lets the other player count them. The first player covers up a portion of the pennies, and the second player must determine how many are covered. They may represent the situation with markers or pictures to help them. Some second-grade students are ready to write a number sentence that describes the situation.

 

·        Students are given a bag with Unifix cubes. They are told that the bag and 2 cubes balance 7 cubes. They use a balance scale to find how many cubes are in the bag.
