Show What You Know Task:Use the Go Math Chapter 6 Show What You Know (p. 238). Informally assess your students’ ability to count by ones from/to any given number up to 100 and their ability to count by ten to 100.
Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content:
Extend the counting sequence.
MAFS.1.NBT.1.1Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
Understand place value.
MAFS.1.NBT.2.2Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
a. 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”
b. The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
c. The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
d. Decompose two-digit numbers in multiple ways (e.g., 64 can be decomposed into 6 tens and 4 ones or into 5 tens and 14 ones).
MAFS.1.NBT.2.3Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <. / Comments:

Notes on Assessment:
Go Math Chapter 6 Form B Assessment
The performance task should be given after of GCG 2.
See common performance task link below.
Unpacking the Standards for this Unit:
When counting, students should have ample experiences with the hundreds chart to see patterns between numbers, such as all of the numbers in a column on the hundreds chart have the same digit in the ones place, and all the digits in the same row have the same number in the tens place. Students should be able to rote count forward to 120 from any number less than 120. When given a two-digit number, students will mentally find 10 more or 10 less without counting.
The idea that 2 tens can replace 20 ones is a monumental shift in thinking for 1st graders. It can be challenging for young children to consider a group of something as “one” when all previous experiences have been counting single objects.
Teachers can build a deeper understanding of numbers and their relationships through providing interesting and engaging tasks. Students need ample opportunities to group proportional objects (e.g., cubes, beans, beads, ten frames) to make groups of ten prior to using pre-grouped materials like base ten blocks. Through experiences such as these, the teacher is able to identify students’ misconceptions, such as interpreting 2 tens and the 3 ones as 5 objects, rather than as 23 ones, or 1 ten and 13 ones, or 2 tens and 3 ones.
Common Performance Task with Rubric for this Unit:
Students will represent a 2-digit number in standard and expanded form as well as with a quick pic. Students will fill in missing numbers on part of a 100 chart. Students will analyze AND explain whether a student’s quick pic of a number is correct or incorrect. Click herefor performance task and rubric.
Future learning:
“At Grade 2, students extend their base-ten understanding to hundreds. They now add and subtract within 1000, with composing and decomposing, and they understand and explain the reasoning of the processes they use. They become fluent with addition and subtraction within 100.” (K-5 Number and Operations in Base Ten Progressions Document, pg. 8)

Instructional Resources
Manipulatives:
  • Proportional Objects (Snap Cubes/Counters/Chain Links/Beads/Beans): These objects should be used prior to the pre-grouped base ten blocks to explore the idea that ten ones make one ten.
  • Ten frames: Utilize when modeling numbers to help students understand and unitize ten ones into one ten.
  • Base Ten Blocks: (Wait until day 3) Students will use base ten blocks to explore different representations of a number.
Lesson Ideas:
  • Go Math Essentials: Lesson 6.3Listen and Draw p. 249 along with the teacher questions in the Teach and Talk can be used as an engage to get students thinking about counting a group of ten as one ten rather than having to count every object in the group.Share and Show p. 250 can be used as after the engage as an informal assessmentof the concept. Problem Solving p. 252 has real world scenarios that can be used as independent practice. On your Own p. 251 can be used with a small group that needs a reteach opportunity. These students should physically be placing the snap cubes in ten frames.
  • Representing Numbers Game: This can be used for partner practice or whole group on Day 2. Students will choose a card and then represent the number 3 other ways. For example, if the student turns over 1 ten 4 ones, they will record: 14, 10+4, and a quick pic on their recording sheet.
  • Go Math Essentials: Lesson 6.6 Share and Show p. 262 can be used after the first part of building conceptual knowledge as an informal assessment of the concept. Problem Solving p. 264 and Problem Solving p.268 can be used as independent practice while the teacher pulls a small group. Closure: Students should select who represented the number correctly and why.
  • Differentiation activities for Day 4 can be found on the PowerPoint.
