Model and Trace Numbers to 10 using Alternative Models K-61
Reinforce part-whole thinking by thinking of numbers 6 to 10 as 5 and some more. Use tally marks, dice, and counters arranged in a circle to "anchor at 5" – then add the rest. What is 6? 5 and 1. What is 7? 5 and 2. Lay the groundwork for teen numbers as 10 and some more and numbers in the twenties as 20 and some more.
