Learning steps & teaching tips
Count a set up to ten without missing or counting an item twice.
- Use two rows or move each item to a counted area. Rearranging the same set does not change its total.
- Work through the example. Explain how its evidence supports the answer.
- Try a new question; use the explanation to check your thinking.
Try it together
Try a question with a partner. Before choosing, explain your idea; after choosing, compare it with the explanation.
