Session 4 - Relationship between Numbers and Quantities

Directions for Giving the Task:

1. Each student(s) needs a blank ten-frame chart.
2. Each student needs a handful of objects.
   1. If you’re at home, grab some small objects that can be used to count.  For example, goldfish crackers, legos, or beans. 
   2. If you’re in the classroom, use counters or blocks. 
3. Show a Number Card (0-10) and have student(s) place the correct number of objects on their ten-frames.  Students should raise their hands when finished for the facilitator to visually check. 
4. Students should explain to the facilitator why they chose the answers they did. Examples of possible explanations:  7-”I know that the top half of the ten-frame is 5 and then I added 2 more.” OR 3-”I counted each box until I reached 3.”
