standard_description: Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to consider concepts of number in a familiar context. Students compare groups of images in the synthesis. Adjust the context to better reflect students’ interests and experiences as needed. For example, the question can be adjusted to ask students to choose between two types of playground equipment that are available at school or in the community where students live. A question can also be chosen from the list that students generated in a previous lesson.
