What this lesson shows
Shirt colors as tallies: the fifth mark crosses the four, and bundles count by 5s.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: red 7, blue 4, green 3. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- One mark for each kid
- The fifth goes across
- Count by 5, then count on
Helping at home
Make one mark for each answer. After four marks standing, the fifth goes across them. Count each bundle as 5, then count on.
If your kid gets stuck
Four standing, the fifth across.
