Children play with barnyard animal cards to practice composing and decomposing numbers. With their "secret number" of animal cards in a cup, they shake and spill them onto a barn story board, counting how many animals fall in the barn and how many fall outside. On a recording sheet, they draw what happened on each spill and fill in blanks to communicate parts of their secret numbers: "____ and ____ is the same as ____."
