Coach: look at the exit check results and the paper practice. Go back over every item a student missed: read it together, have the student explain their thinking, then show the correct thinking. Use the reteach routine below for anyone who missed two or more. Students who got everything right take the stretch task.

🔄 Reteach it (missed two or more)

Act out every story with real objects first. Ask: "Are more coming, or are some going away?" before counting.

Use the same numbers in a join story and a take-away story so the child hears the difference.

4 cars. 2 more. How many?
Answer: 6.
6 cars. 2 drove away. How many left?
Answer: 4.
Does "more" mean add or subtract?
Answer: Add.

🚀 Stretch it (got everything right)

10 kids. 3 went home. Then 2 more left. How many are still here?
Answer: 5.
Write a story that matches 6 + 2 = 8.
Answer: Any story with 6 and 2 more.
