Here are eight easy ways to ask: which toys are eight — the elephants or the dolls?

  1. Are there eight elephants or eight dolls?
  2. Which has eight toys: the elephants or the dolls?
  3. Do the elephants add up to eight, or do the dolls?
  4. Which group has 8 pieces — the elephants or the dolls?
  5. Is the number eight for the elephants or for the dolls?
  6. Which one has eight toys: elephants or dolls?
  7. Count to eight — are the elephants eight or are the dolls eight?
  8. Which group equals eight: elephants or dolls?

Little counting tip (easy 3 steps):

  1. Point to each elephant and say 1, 2, 3... until you finish. Remember the last number you say.
  2. Now count the dolls the same way.
  3. Whichever group you ended on 8 is the group that has eight toys.
