(playful music) - Welcome, Kindergarten math mights.
My name is Mrs. Gray.
And I can't wait to learn math with you today.
Today, we are going to be doing a numeracy talk with our friend Dotson.
Then we are gonna be creating groups for same, fewer and more.
Today, our friend Dotson is coming to help us warm up our brains.
When he comes, he will be showing us some dots because Dotson loves dots.
Now, today, they're not gonna be in a structure of a five frame.
They're gonna be what's called a scatter.
That means the dots could be anywhere on the page.
Today when you take your picture, you're going to remember how many dots you see, but I have a secret question today.
So hold the dots in your brain, until the secret question.
Here comes our friend Dotson now.
(melancholy music) Dotson is bringing this famous scatter, here comes our scatter now.
(camera flashing sound) Hmm!
Did you see the dots?
Now here's the secret question.
What would it be, if there was one more dot on the scatter?
Our friend, Ethan and Han are here to help us figure that out.
Ethan said that he saw four dots and he knows if there was one more, it would be five.
Let's take a closer look at Ethan's thinking, Ethan said, when he saw the dots, he saw four dots and he knew if there was one more.
I'm gonna put one more here in red.
If there was one more dot, that means it would be five.
Remember, if we say more, that means we need to add to get it to be a bigger number.
Let's hear what Han has to say, he saw four and he knew if there was one more, that means there would be five, let's take a closer look.
Here, is that again with the four dots.
And if we take one more, there would be five.
Hey, let's try to make our number bond to match our scatter.
So if we come up here, we'll make a circle here.
This will show the whole.
That means it will show all of the dots in their total.
So there was five dots total, now we can do the two parts.
The first part we could show is the four, because when we started, there was only four dots on our scatter.
So we'll write the four here.
Then we said there would be one more added, the one more could be our other part.
If we have four and one, put them together, there would be our total five.
Hey math mights can you act it out with me?
Four and one put together is five, do it with me, four and one put together is five.
Take a look at our, I can statement for today.
I can create groups with same, fewer and more.
I want you to take a look at these two different frames.
Here on the top, there is one with red dots and here on the bottom, there's some with blue dots.
What do you notice?
What do you wonder?
Ethan said he noticed that he sees red and blue counters in frames.
Our friend Han noticed that both show a total of five, they are the same.
Did you see what Han and Ethan saw?
Let's take a closer look at what they noticed.
They noticed that there was a frame with red dots and a frame with blue dots.
Han noticed that in the red, there was five.
One, two, three, four, five.
And the blue was Five, One, two, three, four, five.
That means they have the same number of dots.
Let's take a look at what they wondered.
Our friend, Ethan, wondered why are there so many empty boxes under the blue ones?
Our friend Han wondered, what is the frame called with the blue counters?
Those are some great wonders.
Let's take a closer look and see if we can figure it out.
So here we have five blue dots, and there are five empty boxes.
Hey, I think there is 10 boxes altogether.
Five on the top six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
If this is called a five frame, because there are five boxes, what do you think this one might be called?
That's right, it's called a 10 frame because there are 10 boxes.
Why would the 10 frame help us?
Let's take a closer look at what might be helpful when we're counting.
So if we had these two frames, we'll put them side by side, here is the five.
If I wanted to build the number six, there's not really a frame for me to put it in.
So what I would have to do is just put it under the frame to show some more, let's do it.
So here is the five, and then we could put one more under to show the six.
On here we could change the frame so that I can show you the five blue and the one extra underneath it in a frame.
What do you think?
Do you like using the five frame or the 10 frame to count the bigger numbers?
I think that using this five frame and putting the more underneath it, might be a little confusing.
Cause if I was putting out chips, if I had it right here in the middle, it'd be hard and could be tricky knowing how many there are.
But when I look over here using the 10 frame, everything is nice and neat in a box.
And I know that there would be five on the top, and if there was a dot in every box on the bottom, there'd be five on the bottom.
In kindergarten, it's so important for us to be able to use a 10 frame because a 10 frame can be very helpful when we're trying to structure different dots to quickly and easily be able to Subitise and see how many there are.
Today we're gonna be playing a new game, lately we've been using these red deco.cards.
These are the cards that had all of our five frames, but today you are getting so great at knowing a 10 frame, we're gonna be going to a harder level.
We're gonna use these yellow deco.cards, on here they are the numbers, but they're built into a structure of a 10 frame.
So we are gonna be using the 10 frame cards when DC and Abacus come to play our new game, it's called Deck o' Dots Duel: 10-frame.
You are going to need the game board, the deck of Deck o' Dots and a friend to play with.
Today Abacus in DC are gonna be our friends to play the game, let's get to it.
So the way it works, is we have our cards here and DC will get to flip a card, and then Abacus will get to flip their card.
We are gonna write how many they got on their player sheet.
Then, we will look at what DC and Abacus got and put a circle around the partner who had more.
Doesn't it sound like fun?
Let's play.
DC goes first, he flips and this is his number, five and three more.
Hey, five, six, seven, eight, DC got eight.
So we are gonna write an eight on the recording sheet.
Now it's Abacus, Abacus flips and he got six.
I know it's six 'cause there's five and one more.
That six, we're gonna write six here for Abacus.
Now take a close look at their numbers eight and six.
When we look at them together, we can clearly see that DC has more dots than Abacus.
So we are gonna be putting a circle around the number eight, DC won that round.
Let's try again, DC's gonna flip, and he flips the number four.
Let's see what Abacus flips, Abacus flipped 10.
Hey, I knew that was 10 so fast.
I didn't even have to count because every box on the 10 frame had a dot in it.
And if every box on a 10 frame has a dot, that means there's 10, let's write their numbers.
So DC got four on that round and Abacus got 10. Who had more?
Yes.
Abacus clearly had more dots on his 10 frame than DC.
Let's circle his as the winner, he won that round.
Wasn't that game fun?
Now, if you play it, you can keep playing with your friend until you run out of all of your cards.
At the very end, count up how many cards you won and then see who had more in order to find out who won the game.
Let's go to our next game, this game I had our friend, Dotson come.
He was trying to make some pictures to show less, same and more of our target number on the 10 frame.
So if we look, our friend Dodson flipped over the card seven, then he drew red stars to show a number that was less.
He drew blue circles to show the number that was the same.
And he drew green Xs to show a number that was more, I think Dotson's onto something, I think we should try to do it.
So let's get out our game board, here it says less, same and more.
We're gonna be using our yellow Deck o' Dots, that way we know they have 10 frames on them.
We're gonna take the first one, flip it over, here is our number, how many dots are there?
That's right, there's six, five, and one more is six.
I think we should start in this box showing same.
Now, it doesn't really matter what picture I choose to draw, as long as I draw the same number, that means they'll be equal.
I think I'm gonna start with circles.
So I'm going to draw six circles.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Six is the same as six.
Now we're gonna go to another box, the box with less, in this box we're going to use the triangles to draw a number that would be less than six.
That's right, there are lots of choices.
Hmm!
Let's do the number four because four is less than the number six.
So we're gonna come here and draw one, two, three, four.
Four is less than six.
Let's go to our last box, this one is more.
That means we have to pick a number that would be bigger than the number six, because more means that it needs to be bigger.
Let's use a square this time, let's draw seven squares.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
seven is more than six.
Great job math mights, now it's your turn.
You are going to get to play Deck o' Dot Duel, 10 frame.
This is the game we played earlier, don't forget at the end to figure out who won the most cards and won the game.
Great job today, math mights, I had so much fun doing the numeracy talk and then building our vocabulary with less, fewer, same and more.
I hope you had a great time and I can't wait for you to come back soon.
