About

Play Shake and Spill with Sage the sloth! First graders write each spill of red and yellow counters as two addition expressions, red part first and then yellow part first, find all six ways to make 7 on a ten-frame, and see that switching the parts keeps the same total. Every direction is read aloud, and wrong answers get a spoken hint.
