Mission 6: Fall sorted
Ideas
•
Talk about/find things there is only 1 of/a few of/lots of – eg one head, a few fingers, lots of strands of hair.
•
Talk about things there could be too many of: too many clothes make you too hot, too many ice creams can make
you sick, too many people can’t fit in the car.
•
Use the counter machine to add counters. Ask when they think it changes from a few to lots (there is no right
answer to that question!).
•
Out and about, look for thing there are one of, a few of, lots of. What things can your child think of that there are
few of, some of, lots of?

and position (on, on top).
