- 2-digit addition & subtraction for mastery with Jenga Comprehension Tower:
*The students will fold their construction paper into 6 squares and record the following:
In top left square (yellow): Use a 10 frame
In top middle square (green): Use base 10 blocks
In top right square (red): Use number line
In bottom left square (blue): Record related facts
In bottom middle square (pink): Use unifix cubes
In bottom right square (purple): Your choice in how to solve

- Engaging Math with emphasis on writing reflections:
-pages 260-266 for Area
- Fact Fluency: Tiny Polka Dots (help maintain subitizing)
Order to integrate suits:
- Rectangular Models- Dark blue with pink counters
- Aqua cards with red counters- dice domino patterns
- Numerals- deep purple with yellow numerals
- Red cards with lime green/blue counters- doubles and near doubles (even and odd) *Remember: if there is symmetry it is even or almost symmetry is odd.
- Lime green card with orange counters- size of counters are not consistent
- Circular pattern- orange with a blue counter
-Games to play with Tiny Polka Dot Cards:
1. How Close to 100? 75? 50?
With four addends, 4 suits
(Students can show their work using the rekenrek. Make sure students are writing all 4 fact families/ number bonds for each set)
-Ex. Start with 35. Show me how far to 100?
35 + _____ = 100
_______ + 35 = 100
100 - _______ = 35
100 - 35 = ________
-Make a compliments of 100 anchor chart as you continue to explore more compliments of 100
-Remember: The students are coming from 1st grade knowing compliments of any multiple of 10
2. Race to 20 or 30 - Start with Making 10, 20, 30, and then 40 at the beginning of the year
(Use 10 sided dice)
Ex. I have 3. What is the compliment of 20?
Ex. I have 9. What is the compliment of 20?
3. Transition to Cuisinaire Rods
Roll a dice, assign a value to each rod, make a key on the board for the students to record down, and fiture out the distance from 20 using the rods
*Remember we can use cuisinaire rods as we explore money as well.
- Interactive Game: Swish (great for Future Ready Station)
- Use Differentiated 120 charts to help build numerical fluency
- When solving problems, always remember to read the question first and create your estimate.
