Worked example
How the sheet explains it
The helper printed at the top of each sheet: one solved example and the steps a student follows, before the first question. Every number sentence in it is proven by the same checker as the answer key.
Level 1: Count to 5
- Touch each counter and count: 1, 2, 3.
- The last number you say tells how many. Write 3.
Level 2: Count to 10 in ten frames
- A full top row is 5. Count on along the bottom row: 6, 7.
- 5 and 2 more make 7. Write 7.
- If the top row is not full, count every counter.
Level 3: Count scattered dots to 10
- Cross out each dot as you count it, so you count every dot once.
- Count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Write 6.
