Five Little Goldfish
"This is math, of course, but it's not math. It's a game. I keep it a game by not belaboring mathematical ideas or concepts. Yes, I use terms like 'addition' and 'subtraction' and 'equals,' when I can as part of the natural flow of things, because it's always good to introduce vocabulary words 'in context.' I support the kids in any way necessary to help them figure out how many fish they have."
