1+4 and 4+1

One and Four

Here is another way to make 5: 1 plus 4. Imagine you have 1 red crayon and your friend gives you 4 blue crayons. Count them all: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. You have 5 crayons! On a five-frame, put 1 counter in the first box and 4 counters in the remaining boxes. The frame is completely full — 5!
