Learning objective

What this activity builds

Recognize groups of five and ten in dot figures and use them to add quantities through 20.

Worked example

A dot figure shows 13 and another shows 6. How many dots altogether?

13 + 6 = 19

See 13 as 10 and 3; the 3 dots and 6 dots make 9, so the total is 19.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

Invite learners to point out full groups of five or ten.
Keep the equation beside the figures so the visual groups and symbols remain connected.
