Gus's Story Poster Walk

Kindergartners warm up with a number talk (3 − 2, 3 + 2, 4 − 2, 4 − 3), solve a hallway story with Gus the school bus, show it on a 10-frame with red and yellow counters, and go on a gallery walk to find the drawing and number-sentence posters that match each school story. Every direction is read aloud.

• 15 scenes: an opening, 13 narrated activities and an ending
• A number talk, a two-color 10-frame build and drawing and equation poster matches

• Find the value of sums and differences within 5, such as 3 + 2 and 4 − 3.
• Solve a story problem about school and show it with counters.
• Match a story to a drawing and to a number sentence that show it.
• See that a drawing and an equation can show the same story.
