What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
4 big balls and 7 small marbles. The balls take more space, but 7 is greater than 4.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 4 balls and 7 marbles. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Look past the size
- Match one to one
- Count the left over
- Each one counts as one
Helping at home
Read each box aloud. Your kid matches or counts before answering. Try it at home with 3 big books and 6 small blocks: the bigger pile is not always more.
If your kid gets stuck
Big or little, each one counts as one.
Watch it with Lux
