Wednesday: Put together and take apart

Chris sits under a tall oak tree.

"Some leaves are red and some are gold," he says.

"How many leaves do we have in all?"

Learn it: two parts make a whole

Nothing comes and nothing goes.

We just have two kinds of things.

"There are 7 red leaves and 6 gold leaves."

"How many leaves in all?"

Put the parts together: 7 + 6 = 13.

Two ten-frames: one full, and three more counters

Ten in the first frame and 3 more make 13.
