Count out just enough

What this lesson shows

"Show 6": move counters into a ten frame one at a time, and stop at 6.

The worked example

The lesson works this one step by step: 6 of 10 balls. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.

The steps

1. Know the number
2. Take one at a time
3. Count each one
4. Stop at the number

Helping at home

Read each box aloud. Your kid counts the things one at a time and circles each as it is counted, then stops at the number. Try it with spoons or blocks too.

If your kid gets stuck

Count one at a time. Stop at the number.
