Learning Intention:
Students are learning that:
Students are learning that:
- 5 is made up of smaller parts
- the quantity 5 remains the same no matter how it is arranged
- counting a group of 5 means labelling one item at a time with a number in the counting sequence up to 5.
Success Criteria:
Success Criteria:
Students can:
Students can:
- see and represent smaller parts within a group of 5
- rearrange a group of 5 items and check that the total is still 5
- count each item one at a time up to 5.

Provide each student with a piece of plain paper and a selection of loose items.
Note: Loose items, such as pasta, gumnuts, pebbles, buttons, shells, and craft pom poms, are objects that students can interact with, move, combine, and use in a variety of ways

Divide students into small groups and explain the game dominoes five.
Divide students into small groups and explain the game dominoes five.
Use a set of dominoes and only select domino pieces representing 0 to 5 on either end. You will need 5 dominoes per student for each game. Place a domino in the centre and ask each student to turn their set of 5 dominoes face down. The aim of the game is to make combinations to 5 by matching 2 quantities that equal 5. Students take turns selecting a domino from their set and attempting to make a combination that totals 5 at either end of the domino chain, as shown in Figure 5. If students are unable to make 5, they turn the domino back over and miss a turn. The winner of the game is the first to use all their dominoes to make combinations to 5.
