A Sampling of Questions You Might Ask During Counting Collections

  • How do you know which items you have counted and which ones you have not counted?
  • What were you doing yesterday to keep track?
  • Why did you switch strategies today?
  • Why did you decide to put those into (cups of 15)?
  • How many cups did it take to get up to (150)?
  • What are you going to do with all those loose ones?
  • It looks like the two of you are using different strategies. Do you have a plan for how you will add your totals together?
  • Why did that turn out to be a tricky collection to count?
  • What will you do differently next time?
