Students explored numbers to 6 using "junk boxes." They collected up to six objects, traded plates with their partner and shared their findings. If they agreed, they high five and if they disagreed, they said prove it and each counted the objects to see if they could come to an agreement.
Students explored numbers to 6 using their hands as counters and a dice. We used a dice to roll a number and create that number on our hands. Partners checked with each other to see if they agreed or if they needed to try again. The students loved this game and it helped solidify recognize the number patterns on the dice.
