How can we make 6?

How can we make 6?  Kindergarteners have spent the last few days working on the number 6.  Aside from learning how to write the number 6, we practiced counting out 6 counters, build stacks of 6 unifix cubes, wrote our numbers from 1-6, drew 6 objects and sorted through dominoes to find ones that had a total of 6.  After students found all the dominoes with 6, we talked about the different ways we can make 6 and created a chart.  We learned that we can make 6 by creating a group of 2 and a group of 4, two groups of 3, and so on.  This is an early introduction to the concept of addition!

Next up is the number 7!
