Create 12 cookies to use as manipulatives to retell the story. Read The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins and use the cookies to model what is happening in the story. After reading the story, have the children use the 12 cookies to retell the story. Ask questions to encourage problem-solving such as, “How many cookies are left?”, “How many cookies will I need?”, “How many cookies were there at the beginning of the story?” or “How many cookies were given away?”
