Use a group of objects (all red) and use the program Handy Graph. (www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primary/publications/mathematics/12880/)

As you count the objects select the up arrow to add them to the red bar on the graph.

Alternatively, draw a pictogram as you count the objects, placing them in the red classification on the pictogram.

Divide a large piece of paper in two with a fold line down the middle. Identify the features on either side of the line and ask pupils to place the objects on the correct side.
