Now, the student will work together and be sure to have three groups to work on one fact.
One volunteer will present the information in ASL. Next, ask the students to create new facts,
such as how many have blue eyes, green eyes, or brown eyes. Another options is to ask how
many have certain types of pets, dogs, cats, etc. Be sure to have the students identify the
whole and parts.
