Explore numbers, words, and the thinking that connects them. Upright Learning Quest brings elementary math and English language arts into one learning space.
Read this short scene aloud or independently, then explain your thinking.
Mia puts 3 red blocks and 4 blue blocks in a box.
Think about the numbers
How many blocks are in the box? Draw the two groups, then count all the blocks.
See the math example
3 + 4 = 7 blocks. The two groups join to make one group of seven.
Find a detail in the sentence
What color are the four blocks? Point to the words that tell you.
See the reading example
The four blocks are blue. The words “4 blue blocks” give the detail.
Make room for an explanation
After an answer, ask “How did you figure that out?” A child might count objects, draw a picture, point to a word, or explain a step aloud. Choose an activity that fits what they are working on with their teacher.
