Discussion points for teachers
- Help Stan to work out how many berries there are in the other pile by completing the part-whole model in words. Then complete the number sentences.
Discuss how many berries can be seen in the pile and how many berries there are in total. Discuss how to count on from the given number to reach the total. Which number do we start with when counting on?
4 + 6 = 10; 10 = 4 + 6. There are 6 berries in the other pile.
- Help Stan and Dot to work out how many bats are missing by completing the part-whole model in words.
Discuss how many bats can be seen in each group. Discuss the values which are known in the part-whole model and how to add them together. Discuss counting on from the total of the known values to the given total. Which number do we start with when counting on? Discuss writing the numbers in words.
There is one bat missing.
- Help Dot and Stan work out how many stones have been washed away by completing the part-whole model.
Discuss the totals given on the noticeboards and compare with how many stones are present for each route. Discuss completing the part-whole model for each of the given numbers. Discuss how to count on from the given numbers to the totals.
5 stones have been washed away from route and 4 stones have been washed away from route 2.
