More and As many 1) Teach numbers (I do)
Intro · Show a pile of 5 vs 15 blocks, which has more? More
10:50-11:00 means to compare how much or how many.
2) We do
· Lets see if there are more boys than girls in the class.
Instead of counting individually, lets pair up and we will
see if anyone is left without a partner. Are there more
boys or girls?
3) You do
· Lets try with 5 vs 6 year olds.
4) I do
· Draw a diagram of circles and triangles on board. Have
one of the shapes have 1 or 2 less. I will draw lines
between the ones that match, and it will tell me which
one has more.
5) We do
· Try this a couple of times with a student volunteer,
matching with a line to the opposite shape. Try this with
straight across lines at first, then try mixing them up to
increase difficulty.
6) You do
· Students will have an opportunity to try this on their own
in one of the centres.

manipulatives, as well as colored block manipulatives. Have
them pair up opposite shapes if working with shapes, or
opposite colours to determine which has more.

of objects working on the 1-10 booklet that has students cutting and
glueing the different ways we can show a number (dice, 10
frame, word, numeral)
Computer Yellow and Green Tables
 Students will log into ABCya, and pick different games which
work on a variety of math skills that are age and grade
appropriate

Differentiation For students struggling with the concept of pairing up, I will create a
small pull-out group for further support and instruction.
