How to Use This Pack

Six Thanksgiving I Spy pages, each a busy scene with four or five kinds of pictures spread over a frame. Page 1 counts pumpkins, apples, acorns and leaves (1 to 5) and writes how many. Page 2 colors one box of a picture graph for each pie, roll, ear of corn, bowl of cranberry sauce and sunflower. Page 3 counts and writes, then circles the kind there is the most of and the kind there is the fewest of. Page 4 makes a tally mark for each picture before writing how many. Page 5 counts 6 to 10 of each kind, and page 6 reads a number and circles the picture there are that many of.

In the Classroom

Read each direction aloud and model the first count on the board: touch each picture, say the number, and cross it off so it is not counted twice. Pages 1 and 2 suit Pre-K; pages 3 to 6 stretch Kindergarten counters to 10. Small groups can share one color copy on a table and use counters on top of the pictures.

At Home

Count the pictures together and let your child cross off each one as you go. Afterward, play I Spy at the dinner table: "I spy 3 rolls. Can you find them?"

Tips for Success

Count one kind at a time, crossing off each picture
The last number you say tells how many
On the graph, color from the bottom up, one box for each picture
Tally marks go in bundles of five: four lines and one across
Use crayons on the black-and-white pages after counting

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

K.CC.A.3 Write the numerals 0 to 20 and use a numeral to show how many objects are in a group, with 0 meaning none.
K.CC.B.4a Count objects by saying numbers in order and matching exactly one number to each object, none skipped or counted twice.
K.CC.B.4b Know the final number in a count gives the total, and the total stays the same however the objects are arranged or counted.
K.CC.B.5 Tell how many: up to 20 objects in a line, array or circle, or 10 scattered. Also count out a requested number up to 20.
K.CC.C.6 Decide whether one group of up to 10 objects has more, fewer or the same as another, by matching or counting.
K.MD.B.3 Sort objects into named groups, count each group (up to 10), and order the groups by how many they hold.
1.MD.C.4 Sort and show data in up to three groups, then answer questions about the total, each group's count, and how groups differ.
