NOTE Some children may benefit from
doing the Readiness activity before you
begin Part 1 of the lesson. See the
Readiness activity in Part 3 for details.
䉴 Math Message Follow-Up

Count together by 10s up to 200.
䉴 Counting with a Calculator
WHOLE-CLASS
ACTIVITY
(Math Journal 1, p. 14)
Remind children that when they want to count using a calculator,
they need to program it. The program needs five steps: To clear
the calculator memory, set a number to count by, set to count up
or count down, and set a starting number. Finally, it needs to be
instructed to count.

Unit 1 Numbers and Routines
Tell children that they are going to count by some uncommon
skips in their counting today. Have them turn to journal page 14.
Give children a few minutes to do the first problem. Check to see
that everyone understands what to do. Children then complete
the page.
When most of the children have finished, briefly discuss the
answers and any patterns they found.
Ask why you might choose not to use the calculator to count by 2s,
5s, or 10s. It’s faster to do those counts without the calculator.

Before beginning Lesson 1-12, assemble the Class Thermometer
Poster ˚F so the thermometer is full length.
Cut a long strip of red ribbon or crepe paper to represent the
“mercury” in the thermometer tube. (The liquid is often called
mercury, but may be something else.) Cut a slit in the thermometer
bulb and pull the ribbon or crepe paper through the slit. Tape it
at the top to hold it in place. Place a container beneath the poster
to hold the excess ribbon or crepe paper. (Celsius temperatures
will be introduced in Unit 4 using the Class Thermometer Poster
(˚F/˚C).)

To apply children’s understanding of calculator counts, have
children start counts on the calculator for their partners to guess.
Partners record numbers and guess the “count by” number.
Children may use the number grid, such as on Math Masters, page
416, to help solve the problem.
