Instructional Ideas
  • Copy and laminate, or place in a plastic sheet protector to reuse and save paper 
  • Call out numbers that scholars must display using counters 
  • Using counters on the frames, invite learners to create addition and subtraction problems, and write them on a separate sheet of paper or on the board 
Classroom Considerations
  • Copies are required 
  • Pages two through three display counters in random positions
