Fern's Picnic: Ask How Many Now

Fern's stories now end with a question! Kindergartners act out a story with counters, pick the question that fits the end of a story, then show a story problem with counters and count them all to find how many now. A last check asks whether showing two groups is the same as answering. Every direction is read aloud, with spoken hints after a wrong try.
