Here are four dots, ●●●● We write the figure 4 for four. Copy each card below, and write under it the figure for the number of dots in the card: Count the dots in these cards from left to right. What number follows 2? What number follows 3? Copy these pictures, and write under each group the figure for the number in the group: How many legs has a horse? a frog? a cow? How many stars are ✶✶✶ and ✶? How LESSON 6. many stars are ✶✶ and ✶ ✶ ? How many marks are // and //? How many brooms are 2 brooms and 2 brooms? How many are 2 and 2? Here are four blocks, Cover one block. How many can you see? Cover two blocks. How many can you see? Cover three blocks. How many can you see? Cover all four blocks. How many can you see? Then 4 from 4 leaves how many? How many more tops are How many more balls are than? than How many more crosses are✈✈✈✈ than ? * How many more cars are 4 cars than 3 cars? than 2 cars? than 1 car?

How many more cars are 4 cars than 2 cars? How many more cars are 4 cars than 1 car? Here are 4 blocks, Susie may take 1 block; then 1 more; then 1 more; and then 1 more. How many times has Susie taken 1 block? How many blocks has she? Then how many blocks are 4 times 1 block? How many apples are 4 times 1 apple? How many figs are 4 times 1 fig? How many are 4 times 1? Ernest may take 2 blocks; and then 2 more. How many times has Ernest taken 2 blocks? How many blocks has he? Then how many blocks are 2 times 2 blocks? How many cakes are 2 times 2 cakes? How many rolls are 2 times 2 rolls? How many are 2 times 2? Here are 4 apples, How many boys can have 1 apple each? How many ones in 4? Here are 4 tops, How many boys can have 2 tops each? How many twos in 4? Here are 4 dots, .... Divide them into two equal parts, thus How many dots in each part? When a number of things is divided into two equal parts, each part is called one-half of the whole number. |
