2. Build Understanding

There are four different types of cards: dot cards, number cards, written word cards, and picture cards.
Students might find it easy to compare two numbers from the same type of cards (two picture cards, two
number cards), but they will probably find it hard to compare two numbers from two different types of cards.
Some students may need to practice expressing numbers zero to five. Have students find a number
expressed in the four different ways on the cards before playing the game.
