take a handful of bi-coloured counters

Take a handful of counters.  Think back to our friend Steven and all those things on his shopping list.  Work with a partner.  How could you use counters to show (rep-re-sent) the different things he bought?

How many things did his mum ask him to buy?  Count the counters (yes, that’s why we call them ‘counters’!)

And now, can you show what happened during Steven’s journey home, by taking away counters?  Take one away from each row.
