Pictures are useful in presenting and reinforcing many concepts.
- “How many circles are there in the picture?”
- “If each circle is a penny, how much money is shown in the picture?”
- “If each circle is a dime (…a nickel …a quarter…), how much money is shown in the picture?”
- “Shade–in half of the circles. How many circles are not shaded–in?”
- “Shade–in half of the circles that are not shaded–in. Now how many circles are not shaded–in?”
- “Again, shade–in half of the circles that are not shaded–in. Now how many circles are not shaded–in?”
