The students will each take papers according to how high they can
count . With the maximum of 10.
The bin is placed and is set as their goal.
We will demonstrate and show the students how to do it.
The students get in order and the first one in line starts to toss the
papers in the bin with our help in a process that isnt too fast because
the rest of the students will be counting the number of papers that are
being thrown out loud (ZPD)
When the student starts to get used to it we will let them do it alone
while still counting with them.
The students guess the number of papers the first student threw and
then the next student goes.

Sequence of Activities:
1. First we will let the students take the number of papers they want and giving it to them.
2. Secondly, we will place the bin and ask them to crush each of their papers separately.
3. Seeing as how they have different numbers of newspapers they will count with the student that is throwing the papers in the bin to guess
how many newspapers they took.
Resources:
1. A bin or basket
2. Up to ten papers for each student
Differentiation
1-The students that have weak arms or cant throw or have any problems with this can be the ones that either crunch the newspapers, or they
can run towards the bin and throw and count, making them participate like the rest and not feel left out or different.
2-We can supply the special aid partially deaf child with a radio aid, the radio transmitter allows the teacher to either record her voice or talk
into a mic that is heard directly into the radio aid allowing the child to easily listen.
3. The students that cant count high can just take a small number of papers.
