Eight rows of circles, squares or triangles, from three to ten in a group, with some of them shaded. The whole is now a group of things instead of one shape: in a row of eight circles with five shaded, five eighths of the group is shaded. Children count the group for the bottom number and the shaded ones for the top. It prepares them for questions like “what is one third of 12?”.
