← Hands, Pencil, Numbers · Lesson 2 of 3

One prompt at a time

About it

Give one prompt, then wait. "Make two groups." Wait. "Now draw your groups." Wait. "Can you write it with numbers?"

If the device is on the table, keep it beside you, face down or turned to you, showing one prompt. The child works with the spoons and the pencil, not the screen.

One question

Where is the phone during the five minutes?

Say it back
A lesson is kept once you've answered the question and written at least 8 words. Nobody grades it; it stays on this device.
