Math: Counting Strategies to 15
New Concept:Today we are going to keep counting. I am going to keep using my ten - frames to help me keep track. I am going to use the spinner that you used yesterday.  First I spin, then I count and scoot my beans. Now I am going to put them on my ten - frame as I count them. Once I have them on my ten-frame, do I need to count all of them?  No, if I know my first ten frame is full I can just say “ten” then count on.  Model this a few times for the students. Some of your students might be able to grab onto this concept, while others will still need to practice counting and touching.
Whole Group Explore: Today we will play the same game as yesterday. This time partner 1 will start by spinning the spinner, then they will count out that many beans. Partner 2 will place the beans on the ten-frames and count the beans to be sure they have the right amount. 
Student Application: We will need to use the count and check strategy on this paper again today.  We won’t be able to move the pictures, so we will want to check them off as we count them.
