problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to count on from a given number. As students count, point to the numbers posted so that students can follow along. To support students as they learn to count on, consider asking “What number comes after 3?” or providing a running start by counting “1, 2, 3…” and having students continue the count.
Launch
“Let’s count to 10.”
Count to 10.
Activity
“Now start at the number 3 and count to 10.”
Count on from 3 to 10.
Repeat 3–4 times starting with other numbers within 10.
