Tilly's Towers: 1 More, 1 Less

Kindergartners help Tilly the turtle hand out forks to see that 7 forks aren't enough for 9 people, find the missing tower and number in a row of cube towers from 1 to 10, then build towers with 1 more and 1 fewer cube than Tilly's 7 and pick the number that shows each one. A last question asks for the number that is 1 less than 9. Every direction is read aloud, wrong answers get a spoken hint, and the lesson ends by counting to 20 together.
