| LESSON | SESSIONS | DESCRIPTION | SUPPLIES |
|---|---|---|---|
LESSON 1Skip Counting |
1 | Students practice skip counting by twos in various contexts using different number representations. |
|
LESSON 2Counting by Fives |
2–3 | Students skip count by fives after trading pennies for nickels. They group pennies by fives and count on to then find the value of a set of coins. |
|
LESSON 3Sharing Cookies |
2 | Students listen to the storyThe Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins and explore the concept of division by partitioning numbers into fair shares with and without leftovers. |
|
LESSON 4Packaging Cookies |
2 | Students partition cookies into groups of tens and leftovers (ones) as a step toward understanding the value of the digits in a two-digit number. |
|
LESSON 5Colors |
3–4 | Students investigate the color distribution in multicolored cereal while grouping and counting by fives and tens. This provides an introduction to sorting and sampling. The TIMS Laboratory Method, a four-step adaptation of the scientific method, is also introduced. |
