Math: Counting On...

New Concept: One of the things that mathematicians do is they think of ways to find the answers as efficiently as possible. This means they look for ways to save time!   Today we are going to play a new game that will help you save time and be efficient when counting. It is called “Count On!” Watch while I show you how to play.  Player 1: will pull out a card [3] and then drop 3 cubes in the cup as they count “1, 2, 3”.   Player 2 will pull out another card [5] and count on as the drop the cubes in the cup.  It will sound like this “4, 5, 6, 7, 8.”  Then you will check to see if you counted on correctly.  Demonstrate how you would check using the 10 frame and recounting the total number. 
Whole Group Explore:  Today you will get to play “Count on” with your partner. 
For some this will be an easy task. Others will need more support to count on (vs counting all).  
Student Application:   Students will work independently.
