we do this exercise often…and it is amazing to see the natural progression.  if there is one big o shape on the paper, how many smaller ones can you make inside?  we use pens to ensure a really dark, fine line.

and enter fancy vocabulary:  bigger, biggest, larger, largest, smaller, smallest, order, ascending, descending…

the greatest accomplishment for many was making the “smallest o ever!!!”

it was more exciting to watch than you might think.
