  • Cooking: What changes if we double, halve, or compare these amounts?
  • Comparing: Which option is more, less, longer, shorter, heavier, or closer? How can we tell?
  • Measuring: What could we use to estimate, measure, or check this space or object?
  • Planning: What do we need, how many, and what is a reasonable order to do it in?
  • Sharing: How could we split this fairly? What would a different split look like?
  • Noticing: What pattern, shape, number, or relationship do you see around us?
