Math: Match Me Plus 1

New Concept: Today I want to talk about counting numbers. A while back we played a game called Match Me. We counted out some cubes on our mat and asked our partners to “Match me”. Then our partners matched the same number of cubes on the other side of our mats. Today we will play “Match me Plus 1.”  

 Select one card and build it on one side of the mat. Then build another set that is 1 more on the other side of the mat. Use the math talk card to describe your sets. 

Whole Group Explore: Today you will play “Match me plus 1” with your partner. Be sure you use your math talk cards to describe the sets you build.    

Student Application: Students will draw flowers to answer the prompt at the top of the page.
