Rosie's Acorn Mat: Fewer, Same, More

A kindergarten lesson with Rosie the raccoon. Children count fingers on two hands by starting at 5 and counting on, then fill a ten frame with cubes to build a group with the same number as Rosie's 7 acorns, a group with fewer, and a group with more. They finish with Math Fingers, finding hands that show fewer or more fingers than a card. Every direction is read aloud, and every wrong answer gets a spoken hint and another try.

• 12 narrated learner scenes, an opening and an ending
• Three ten-frame builds: the same number, fewer, and more
• A spoken hint and another try on every wrong answer
