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?"
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.
Ten in the first frame and 3 more make 13.
"Chris has 11 rocks. 4 are gray. The rest are brown."
"How many rocks are brown?"
The whole is 11. One part is 4.
Think 4 + ? = 11. Count on to find 7.
| Story | True or false? |
|---|---|
| 5 red and 5 gold leaves make 10 leaves. | ? |
| 6 cats and 6 dogs make 13 pets. | ? |
| 9 big and 3 small rocks make 12 rocks. | ? |
Here are new sight words.
Look at each word. Say it. Spell it.
Even: E-V-E-N.
Such: S-U-C-H.
Lovely work! Tomorrow Chris tells a compare story.
