problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this How Many Do You See is for students to subitize or use grouping strategies to describe the images they see. The images used introduce students to the context that will be used throughout the lesson.
When students use the placement of objects in a 10-frame, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).
