In this activity, learners play a game that helps young mathematicians recognize how the numbers 0 through 5 are related. Learners toss five pompoms into circle made out of string on the floor. Learners record the results by drawing a dot where each pompom landed on data sheet. Each learner takes four turns throwing the pompoms and recording where they land. Next, learners write number sentences under each illustration. For instance, if three pompoms landed inside the circle and two landed outside, the number sentence would be 3+2=5.
