Can you find the group that goes with a number? Look at the number, then count each group. Which one matches?
Key idea
Count each group. The one that has the same count as the number is the match.
For the grown-up: Lay out a number card and three piles of different sizes. Let your child find the match. Then switch: your child makes a pile and you write the number. Keep screen time short: two or three problems, then play.
- Try it at home: Play “number hunt” with cards and toys.
- Make a pile for a number your child picks.
- Build towers to match number cards.
