Kindergarten Grade Talking Points
- "Let's roll the dice and count the dots on each die. Can you tell me how many dots you see on each die?"
- "Now, let's add the numbers together. What is the sum of the dots?"
- "Great! Now, let's subtract the smaller number from the larger number. What is the difference?"
- "Next, let's multiply the numbers together. What is the product?"
- "Lastly, let's divide the larger number by the smaller number. What is the quotient?"
