About

Help Tilly the turtle sort her spilled beads by color, count each group, and find which group has fewer. Kindergarten students count on past 79, sort red and yellow beads into cups, find how many are in each group, and compare groups using numbers and 10-frame drawings. Every direction is read aloud, and every wrong answer gets a spoken hint and another try. Includes two optional scenes with totals to 20.

What's included

  • 12 narrated scenes with spoken hints
  • A drag-and-drop color sort
  • Counting and comparing questions with 10-frames
  • Two optional scenes with totals to 20

Learning objectives

  • Sort beads into two groups by color.
  • Count each group and find its number.
  • Tell which group has fewer, and say it with fewer and less.
  • Compare groups from a number record and from a 10-frame drawing.
