Math Stories

• A few examples of guiding questions:– Can you name what you see in this picture?– Are there some things we can count one-by-one?

By 2’s?– What is largest? Smallest?– How many in all? What are “part” of them doing?– Which one is first? Second, etc?– Can you make a math story from this picture?
