Give students 2 file cards and a sheet of dots Give students 2 file cards and a sheet of dots. Invite them to create 2 different five cards. Remember 5 is made with 3 and 2, not in a straight line.

Describe and compare the different fives Describe and compare the different fives. Build equations for equal, same as we did for 2 and 3. Give out dot collections and have students circle five. If there are leftovers they can record 5+ expression.

Practice trusting the five by searching for it in collections.

Thumbs up if you see 5 (3 seconds)

Did you notice when we circle 5 there is always one left Did you notice when we circle 5 there is always one left. This must be 6 because 5 + 1 = 6. I see five and one is left so this is a collection of 6.

Find a five?

Look again to check…

or here

This time there was always 2 left after you circle 5…

If 5 + 1 = 6 then 5 + 2 = 7

Try a new one.
