what does lay counter means
I think it refers to thew number of counters that needs to be layer... I'm not sure about that though.
To "lay counters" in a kindergarten question typically means to physically place objects, such as counters or small tokens, on a surface to represent a certain number or quantity. In this specific question, you are asked to lay counters for numbers 5 and 3.
To do this:
1. Take five counters (you can use objects like coins, buttons, or any small items) and place them in a horizontal line or a cluster.
2. Take three counters and place them in a separate horizontal line or cluster.
By visually representing the numbers using counters, it helps children develop a concrete understanding of quantity and number sense.
