Two-color counters

Activity Narrative

The purpose of this activity is for students to explore and use two-color counters and 5-frames. As students explore, observe whether they count the two-color counters or use the 5-frames to organize the two-color counters.

The 5-frames are provided as a blackline master. Students will continue to use these throughout the year. Consider copying them on cardstock or laminating them and keeping them organized to be used repeatedly.

MLR8 Discussion Supports. After students share responses, use multimodal examples to show the meaning of 5 in the 5-frame. Point to each square and count to 5. Invite students to chorally read numbers 1–5 aloud.
Advances: Listening, Representing, Speaking

Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence. Some students may benefit from feedback that emphasizes effort and time on task. For example, moving counters in the squares of the 5-frame or filling the 5-frame with one counter in each square.
Supports accessibility for: Attention, Social-Emotional Functioning

Launch

Groups of 2
Give each student a 5-frame.
“As you explore the two-color counters, you will also explore a new tool called a 5-frame.”
Display the 5-frame.
“Why do you think we call this a 5-frame?” (It has 5 spaces or squares. The squares are empty like a frame.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
Share responses.
Give each group of students a container of two-color counters.
“Let’s explore two-color counters and 5-frames.”

Activity

10 minutes: independent work time
“Share one thing you did or made with the two-color counters and 5-frames with your partner.”
2 minutes: partner discussion
