Action
The students choose a bag they have not counted. They are given the directions to count the items in the bag and record the number on the line next to the picture of the item in the bag.  The students will then check their answers against the teacher-prepared recording sheet.  If the activity is done in committee, the teacher should ask each student, “How many  (triangles) were in the bag?”  If the activity is done daily, the teacher should ask four or five different students, “How many  (triangles) were in the bag?”  The process is repeated until time runs out or all bags of stuff have been counted.
