About

Is it a more-come story or a some-go story? Kindergarteners count a favorite-color chart, sort Fern's stories into adding and taking away, switch a story to the other kind, and pick the question that makes a story a story problem. Then they act out a playground story with counters on a ten-frame, find the drawing that shows it, and solve it. Every direction is narrated.

What's included

  • 10 narrated activities with spoken hints
  • A ten-frame take-away and tap-to-hear story choices

Learning objectives

  • Count a class chart, and find how many chose one of two colors.
  • Tell whether a story adds (more come) or takes away (some go).
  • Switch a story to the other kind, and pick a question that fits a story.
  • Act out a story problem with counters, find the drawing that shows it, and solve it.
