About

Kindergarteners count by tens with Toby the Toolbox, then compare pattern blocks: which kind did Toby use more of, or fewer of? They fill a Y puzzle, count Toby's version made of smaller blocks, find the block that finishes a puzzle, and spot which robot is built with more blocks. Every direction is read aloud.

What's included

  • 13 scenes, about 9 minutes, all narrated
  • Count by tens to 100 with Toby
  • More-or-fewer questions about pattern block designs
  • A Y puzzle to fill with pattern blocks
  • Find-the-last-block puzzles
  • A robot comparison to check understanding

Learning objectives

  • Count by tens to 100 along with Toby.
  • Tell which kind of block a design uses more of, or fewer of, even when the counts are close.
  • Count the blocks in a puzzle, and see that smaller blocks take more blocks to fill it.
  • Find the block that finishes a puzzle, and tell which of two designs has more blocks.
