Power of 10-Number Bracelets

Materials:

*Chenille stems

*Beads (all the same color)

*These items can be replaced with items that you have available. For example, yarn and unifix cubes could be used to make the number bracelets or straws cut into small pieces.

Number 10 stickers

Instruction:

Making Number Bracelets

Students will count out ten beads (all the same color) separately and place them on the chenille stem, forming it into a bracelet. The students will attach the number 10 to each bracelet. Students can manipulate the beads and make the various combinations for the target number being encouraged to use sentences such as “six and four make ten.” Partners may work together to talk about their combinations.

*The chenille stems and the beads can be replaced with items that you have available in your classroom.

Make a class chart with the story of 10. The students will use their number bracelets to show the parts of 10 as the class makes the Story of 10 chart.

10
0 and 10 make 10
1 and 9 make 10
2 and 8 make 10
3 and 7 make 10
4 and 6 make 10
5 and 5 make 10
6 and 4 make 10
etc

Practice:

Group #1: (Partner) Work on the floor in a review math tub in a partnership or small group.

Group #2 (Independent) Work at tables on an Independent activity such as making their own Story of 10 chart or rolling the dice and writing the numeral with correct formation.

Power of 10-Part-Part-Whole

Materials:

You tube video: “The Friends of Ten”

10 plastic cups

Instruction:

Start your instruction with the YouTube video “The Friends of Ten”

Gather students around you so that everyone will be able to see. Today the focus number will be 10.

  • Line up 10 plastic cups, right side up.
  • Say, “There are 10 cups!”
  • Turn 6 cups over.
  • Now say, “There are 10 cups. 6 are upside down. 4 are right side up. 10 is the whole. 6 is a part. 4 is a part.
  • Say, “10 is 4 and 6, AND 6 and 4 make 10”. You want students to hear that the order of the addends and sum are interchangeable.
  • Return all cups to the upright position. Repeat using other numbers.
  • Ask children to find all possible combinations for your focus number. (10)

Practice:

Group #1: (Partner) Work on the floor in a review math tub in a partnership or small group.

Group #2 (Independent) Work at tables on an Independent activity such as composing and decomposing 10 using number bracelets.

Group #3 (Small group) Teacher will work with students assessing their understanding of composing and decomposing 10 using number bracelets or the cup activity.

TEKS: 1.3C Compose 10 with two or more addends with and without concrete objects

Compose and Decompose Numbers to 10

Power of 10-Rekenrek

Materials:

10 red beads
10 white beads

Chenille stem
foam sheet or cardstock or an index card

*These items can be replaced with items that you have available. For example, yarn and unifix cubes could be used to make the Rekenreks, or straws cut into small pieces

Instruction:

How to Make a Rekenrek

  • The above materials will make a small two- row Rekenrek (4in. x 6in.)
  • The beads usually come in packets of 750-1000
  • Use the tip of the chenille stem to poke two small holes at each end of the foam sheet or sheet of cardstock, about 1in. in from the side.
  • Place one end of each piece of chenille into the holes at one end of the board.
  • Place five white beads and five red beads on the chenille stem. When looking at the finished board, the beads should be pushed over to the ‘Start Position’ (the right hand side), with the white beads on the right and the red beads towards the left. Note that the start position has the beads on the right so that when a child pushes the beads over he can ‘read’ the Rekenrek from left to right.
  • Once all the beads are on the chenille stem, thread the stem through the holes on the other end and twist- tie at back.

Practice:

Group #1: (Partner) Parts of 10-Students will have 10 cups and show parts of 10.

Group #2 (Independent) Students will practice counting to 120 with a number chart and/ or work in tubs.

Group #3 (Small group)Show me 0-10: Say a number, or hold up a numeral card (0-10). Ask students to show the given number by moving the beads with one push.

Use the Rekenrek to practice making 10. Six on the top row and 4 on the bottom row make 10.

1.3F Generate and solve problem situations when given a number sentence involving addition and subtraction of numbers within 20

Addition

Materials:

Unifix cubes for pairs of students to show addition

Instruction:

Tell students that you all have been working on understanding that parts make a whole, such as 4 and 6 make 10. 3 and 7 make 10. Mathematicians refer to the joining of parts as ADDITION. Have them practice saying that word. Mathematicians write sentences just as we do as writers of books. A number sentence for the parts of 10 may look like 4 + 6 = 10. Or 3 + 7 = 10. The WHOLE of 10 is referred to as the SUM. The parts are called ADDENDS.

Show the following Smart board lesson (slides 1-8 only).

Smartboard Lesson: Addition Concept

Use slide 2 to introduce the concept of addition—joining and putting together.

Use slides 3 and 4 to show the actions, connected to number sentences, connected to pictures.

Model building with the unifix cubes and then model with the cloning of the unifix cubes. Students need to build as you build. Emphasize building each number and then joining and writing the sum.

Use slide 5 to identify the vocabulary. Ask students if they can show you or give examples of what the words mean.

Use slide 6 to have students work in pairs with unifix cubes to practice the concept.

Use slide 8 to allow students to deepen their understanding of the concept.

Practice:

Group #1: (Partner) Work in Math tubs.

Group #2 (Independent) Use a number bracelet to create a story of 10.

Group #3 (Small group) Deal Out a Ten!

Deck of cards with Face cards removed

First student will choose a playing card. He will use one color of 2-sided counters to show number from the card on the 10-frame.

He will then use a second color to complete the ten.

Then he will write the number sentence.

Card / Ten frame / Number Sentence
3 / o / o / o
/ 3 +? = 10
5 / o / o / o / o / o
/ 5 +? = 10

If students begin to count by ones from 3 in first example, encourage them to subitize 5 empty spots plus 2 above equals 7. Keep encouraging number sense, subitizing, and power of ten.

Sample Problems

Student copies of story problems

Instruction:

Addition

1. Display the sample problem on the document camera.

Cole put 2 ducks in the bathtub.

Next, he put 3 fish in his bathtub.

How many ducks and fish were in his bathtub? .

2. Begin the Four-Step Problem Solving with the students.

  • Read the problem.
  • Help students locate the question and read the question again.
  • Ask, What are we trying to find?
  • Step 1 in solving a problem is identifying “what” we are trying to find in the question. Write the “what” of the question.
  1. The next step (step 2) is to record and model the details in the problem that will help us answer the question. To help identify the details, the students write the first letter of what the question is asking.
  • Let’s use unifix cubes to represent the ducks and the fish. (You may want to use different colors for each). To model the details, let’s re-read the problem one sentence at a time and adjust our unifix cubes and drawing to show the details.
  • Read the first sentence. Cole put 2 ducks in the bathtub. Let’s use our unifix cubes to show this. Now draw a picture to match the problem.
  • Read the second sentence. Next, he put 3 fish in the bathtub. Let’s use our unifix cubes to show this.
  • Read the third sentence. How many ducks and fish were in the bathtub? What action is happening? (put together)
  • Let’s show this in the details. Draw a bracket to the side of the model drawing to show this action.
  1. The third step is to write a number sentence and solve to find the answer.
  1. The fourth step is to describe how you found the answer. (Encourage students to use the different vocabulary words in the how such as; PT for put together, Add, Sum, etc.)

*You may want to model the top quadrants of the Four Step process for students and work toward students recording notes in all 4 quadrants.

Practice:

Group #1: (Partner) Work in partnerships on any of the power of 10 games.

Group #2 (Independent) Use the problem below and have students complete the problem independently.

Group #3 (Small group) Teacher will work one or two problems with each group to ensure understanding of the 4-step process.

Cole put 2 ducks in the bathtub.

Next, he put 3 fish in his bathtub.

How many ducks and fish were in his bathtub? .
