In the extension, record the actual hidden part. Optional larger quantities. A complete counter route is printed on the page; owned Numicon shapes are optional. The child may point, move, show, talk or direct adult hands. Materials and setup: 9 large, child-appropriate counters; opaque cloth; clear separate tabletop or play surface; adult present to set up and facilitate. Uncover and record the actual hidden part for the variable extension. Do not apply the fixed main answer of 4 to every setup.
