Count 6 and 7

Hold up one whole hand. That is 5 fingers.

Now put up 1 finger on your other hand.

Count on: 5... 6. You are holding up 6 fingers.

Draw 2 rows of 5 boxes in your book. This is a ten frame.

Fill the top row with beans. Put 1 bean below.

The top row is full. That is 5.

One bean sits below. 5 and 1 more make 6.

Touch each bean as you say a number.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. There are 7 beans.

Mugisha counts 6 chairs in his classroom.

Umutoni counts 7 avocados in a basket.

The last number you say tells you how many there are.

Now look for 7 things in your own home.

Count 7 bottle caps. Count 7 sticks. Count 7 steps to the door.

Each time you stop on the same word: seven.

Put 6 beans in one ten frame. Put 7 beans in another.

The frame with 7 has one more bean below.

7 comes after 6 when you count. So 7 is bigger.
