    part/part/whole

    1.We play Heads/Tails with pennies. Children choose the total number of pennies to use ( my students are using 7 or 8). One child drops them all and they record on paper how many heads and how many tails for the total.
    2. They also play Hide It with cubes. Using the number of cubes that they are working on, they show their partner the total. Then they put the cubes behind theri back and snap off some. They show the partner part of the whole and the partner tells what is hidden.Check by counting.
    3.Buttons under the rug: using an agreed upon number for the total, child covers some with a rug (construction paper) and asks partner"How many are hiding?" You can also use various counters instead of buttons( animals, bears etc. They always record by drawing a T chart or I give them a recording sheet.
