Introduction
(5 minutes)- Display two sets of circular counters side by side on the document camera (e.g. four and six).
- Ask students to point to the set that shows more counters. Think aloud, "That's right! Six is more than four!"
- Now ask students to show you the set that shows less counters. Think aloud, "Correct! Four is less than six."
- Gesture with your hands spread wide as students repeat, "more." Gesture with hands close together as students repeat "less."
- Project the Race to 120 gameboard, and tell students that today they will play a fun game to practice counting on.
