problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to experience center choice time for the first time. Students choose from activities that offer practice counting up to 20 objects or adding within 10. Students choose from previously introduced centers and are encouraged to choose the center that will be most helpful for them at this time.
Counting Collections
Number Race
Check it Off
Five in a Row: Addition and Subtraction
Students will choose from these centers throughout the section. Keep materials from these centers organized to use each day.
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Use visible timers or audible alerts to help students anticipate and prepare to transition between center activities.
Supports accessibility for: Social-Emotional Functioning, Organization
