and their quantities, dont you think? We
learned how to make sure that both dot cards
are equal, and how to find a pair. We also
learned that in order to find out if the cards are
the same number, we need to double check by
counting the number.
Have students informally demonstrate their
knowledge on dot cards. If I were to hold up
this card, can everyone point to the card that
matches?
