Tilly's Table: Many Ways to Show a Number

Kindergarten math in Tilly the turtle's kitchen. Children act out setting the dinner table, matching one cup to each plate to see that 8 is more than 6. Then they find 7 shown many ways (fingers, a 5-frame, cubes, dots and the numeral), compare number posters with more, less and the same number, and tell the number that is 1 more and 1 less than 6. Every direction is read aloud, wrong answers get a gentle spoken hint, and the lesson ends with counting to 20 together.
