Launch:

  1. Ask: Have you ever been caught doing something you weren’t supposed to be doing? How did you feel? 

  2. Give students opportunities to notice and wonder.

  1. Introduce today’s task. 

  • OPTION A: If students wondered about the number of doll legs in the sink, allow this to guide today’s task.  For example: Josh wants to know how many doll legs are stuck in the sink.  Let’s go back to our seats, use our manipulatives or paper/crayons to find the answer to Josh’s question. 

  • OPTION B: If no students wondered about the number of doll legs in the sink, say: This is Reagan.  She got some of her baby dolls’ legs stuck in the sink.  How many doll legs are stuck in the sink?
