Teacher Tips: Continue to build on knowledge from Compelling Question 5.

• Question 7 is an opportunity for students to begin to explore groups of tens and ones with manipulatives.

• Use various methods to show groups of ten (ten frames, bundles, rods, sticks, tally marks, etc.)

Essential Question #7 Pretest

Essential Learning Outcomes (ELO)

∎Students will work to make the connection between the (verbal) number names and quantities. (K.CC.A 1, 2 & 3, MP2, MP6, MP8)

∎Students will attend to precision in both their explanations and particular strategies they use to count. (K.CC.B 4 & 5, MP2, MP6)

∎Students will explore the structure of ten ones and some more one using various strategies-such as ten-frames- to model the “teen” numbers. (K.NBT.A.1, MP4, MP7)

Learning targets

• I can count to 100 by ones and tens starting at 1. (K.CC.A.1)

• I can count forward beginning with another number other than 1. (K.CC.A.2)

• I can write numbers 11 to 20 (K.CC.A.3)

• I can match each object with a number when counting. (K.CC.B.4a)

• I can tell how many objects are in a group. (K.CC.B.4b)

• I can count up to 20 objects that are arranged differently. (K.CC.B.5)

• I can count objects to match numbers from 1 to 20. (K.CC.B.5)

• I can make a number using a group of ten and ones. (K.NBT.A.1)

• I can tell how many tens and ones are in a number. (K.NBT.A.1)

Addition & Subtraction Strategies within 10

Choose which strategy students need to practice.  You may find that they need many, so start with one for a week or so, then move onto another.  You are looking for efficient strategies, not mastery of all strategies.  Students may find they prefer one strategy over another or change strategies for different problems.  The goal is that they are flexibly using efficient strategies and are able to reason about numbers to fluently compute.

Interactive manipulatives 

“Closure in a lesson does not mean to pack up and move on. Rather, it is a cognitive activity that helps students focus on what was learned and whether it made sense and had meaning.” How the Brain Learns Mathematics (2007) P. 104

There are many ways to wrap up and reflect the day's activities but this step is often overlooked or rushed.  Purposely plan and allow time for students to have closure each day (even if it means setting a timer or daily alarm so you don't run out of time).
