If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts:

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Help students who need help understanding the concepts by providing physical manipulatives for students to count, and help them visualise the quantity increasing per number counted. Alternatively, use a number line or hundreds board to show the quantities and intervals of one.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Edit the resource in Google Slides to have the values go into the 100s or change the counting intervals to be skip counting values.
