How it works
Count the beads one by one: one bead for each thing.
Five beads are half a row. A whole row has ten.
One hand has five fingers, so one hand matches five beads.
Worked examples
Five balloons
- Slide one bead across for each balloon: one, two, three, four, five.
- Every balloon has its own bead.
- Five balloons, five beads.
