The Colors Twenty square pieces of paper four of each color four red fiour blue fiour yellow four orange fiour green

The students are given four pieces of colored paper. Each student has a different set of papers. Some will have the same as others because there are more students than there are papers. They will be instructed to count outloud how many pieces of paper they have (checking ffollowing directions, paying attention, counting.) It may be necessary to have each individual count out their pieces of paper out loud. After everyone has counted out their squares, the teacher draws a square on the board and asks if anybody knows what the shape is. She takes anwers from raised hands. The teacher writes the word square on the board and moves on. The teacher tells the students individually to put their square on the board inside the big square. She begins with this sentence,. If your square is red. put one piece inside the square on the board. She may need to model this. It is also a good idea when she sees the students mastering this skill,, she needs to change the driections to put the small square outside of the box. Again she is looking for following directions, attention to task, knowing colors and recogniznig propositions., She concludes the activity with the last student putting the last square on the board. Now this is where the class could start using the technology of the MOBI. This is described on the next page,
