Warm-up — yesterday: The Number 0
How many are in the empty box?What we are learning
Numbers have an order, and each one is exactly 1 more than the one before it.
How it is done — keep this beside you
These steps stay on your page while you work. If you get stuck, find the step you are on and read it again before you put your hand up.
1
I write the numbers I know, out of order.
5 2 8 1
2
Which is the least? I count up from 0 to find it: 0, 1 — there it is.
5 2 8 1
5 2 8 1 → 1
3
Next least is 2.
5 2 8 1
5 2 8 1 → 1
→ 1 2
4
Then 5.
5 2 8 1
5 2 8 1 → 1
→ 1 2
→ 1 2 5
5
Then 8. Least to greatest.
5 2 8 1
5 2 8 1 → 1
→ 1 2
→ 1 2 5
→ 1 2 5 8

Ask yourself: “Did I start from the least, or from the one I noticed first?”
