On this sheet

  • Look at both groups. Draw one circle around all the leaves. How many are there altogether? Write the number. — answer: One enclosing loop includes both complete groups, with no pictured object left out, and the total is 9. The loop represents one combined collection. A total alone does not demonstrate the requested joining action. This is pictorial combination, not evidence of a particular counting strategy.
  • Draw dots to fill the ten-frame. Write how many you added. — answer: 9
  • Show two different ways to make 5. Write the two parts in each row. — answer: Shows two valid, distinct compositions of 5. Accept zero as a part. Reversing the same parts is one way, not two. Do not require any other combinations.
