Let’s get started
Today we will explore find groups of four through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Count four wooden blocks into a small basket.
- Try it as a team: Touch each object and count slowly. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Sort or compare real objects. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.

Show what you noticed
- Show or tell a grown-up what you noticed while we explored find groups of four. An adult may enter the child's words.
- Try it again: Count four wooden blocks into a small basket. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about find groups of four. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
Five optional ways to revisit this week
Choose a few minutes on any days that suit your child; these are ideas, not mandatory daily assignments.
