Learning goals

  • Read and compare counts in a labeled bar chart.

Before you begin

Read whole-number counts and add within fifty.

Age and grade do not measure readiness. Adjust reading or adult support to preserve the intended learning goal.

Follow the sequence

Teaching and response guide

  1. Read one label and connect it to the model.
  2. Compare two records using their units.
  3. Explain or revise one claim using the supplied evidence.

Watch for: Treating book counts as a count of individual people.

Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
