InterACTions:

  • Let’s go to the kitchen and find a recycled cereal box.

  • Can you help me cut the front of the box only. What is a good strategy for this? I see you’re having a hard time. Do you have any other strategy?

  • Remember not to say I can't. Your brain believes you. Say I’ll try a different way.

  • Now, let’s make little snakes. What color would you like to make? How many?

  • Let’s count how many you made? As you count, touch and move.

  • Great job! Let squeeze them into the box and create a maze for the marbles to travel.
