Penny's Equations: Ways to Make 10

Kindergartners meet the word equation with Penny the penguin. They hear 10 = 7 + 3 read as "10 is 7 plus 3", match equations for 10 to 10-frames of red and yellow counters, a cube tower and fingers, then show 10 = 3 + 7 on a 10-frame in two colors. Every direction is narrated, and every wrong answer gets a kind spoken hint.

• 13 scenes with narration in every scene
• 8 graded questions with spoken hints
• A 10-frame build: show 10 = 3 + 7 in two colors
• 10-frames, a cube tower and fingers for 10

• Hear the word equation and read 10 = 7 + 3 as 10 is 7 plus 3.
• Match a 10-frame of red and yellow counters, or a cube tower, to the equation that shows its two parts.
• Find the hands whose fingers up and fingers down show an equation for 10.
• Show an equation for 10 with two colors of counters on a 10-frame.
