Other children lay out small numeral cards in order on a table or rug. Emphasize that the units are on the right, tens to the left, etc. Trays with unit cups on them should be placed here. There should be prepared problem cards for static addition with numbers small enough that they do not exceed 9 when added. Child is asked to take prepared static addition card, read one addend, identify the categories and take the cards from his layout.
Child takes the tray to the bank and gets the amount to match the numerical cards on the tray.
Units are placed in the unit cups. Child returns to teacher for verification. Each child playing the game is thus given a number, goes to the banker and returns with the amount. When the quantity from the first tray is assembled on the rug according to categories, slide the numerals over and place on top right of rug. Count the beads with the children starting with the units.
