Unit 1, Lesson 10
Are There Enough?
Kindergarten
Preparation
Lesson Narrative
While some students might count the number of objects and compare that number to the number of students, the focus of the activity is on matching one object to each person to see if there are enough.
The lesson begins with a How Many Do You See? routine to build on the subitizing work in a previous section. Students then extend the Act It Out routine with a new story.
Throughout the section, observe students for the look-fors on the Unit 1, Sections A–D Checkpoint.
- Engagement
- MLR8
- Comprehend (in spoken language) the question “are there enough?” means that it needs to be determined if there is one object in a group for every object in another group.
- Determine (orally) whether there are enough in a given situation.
- Let’s figure out if there are enough supplies for everyone.

NoneTeacher Reflection Questions
Reflect on how you can reinforce the work done in today’s lesson outside of math class. When can you ask students questions about whether there are enough? How can you incorporate it into snack time, transitions, or when distributing materials?
