Moss's Mystery Bags: Numbers Tell How Many

Kindergarten math with Moss the mole. Children spot 1 more on quick-look 5-frames, count the boats at the beach, trace and write a 5, count a spilled bag of acorns and choose its label, use a bag's label to know what's hidden inside, and see that 8 strawberries moved into a line are still 8. Every direction is read aloud.

• 12 narrated activities: three quick looks, 1 more, a beach count, writing 5, two mystery bags, strawberries in a line and a fingers count
• Quick looks that flash dots on a frame, then ask how many
• Number tracing for 5, and a counting collection of acorns
• Spoken hints after every wrong answer

• Say how many dots there are in a quick look at a 5-frame, and see 1 more.
• Count a group and choose the number that tells how many.
• Use a number label to know how many are hidden, then check.
• Tell that a group moved into a line still has the same number.
