Notes on Assessment:
Students apply multiple strategies to add and subtract two-digit numbers. Preview performance task before beginning this unit of study to ensure coverage of content that will lead to student success.
See common performance task link below
Unpacking the Standards for this Unit:
First Grade students use concrete materials, models, drawings and place value strategies to add within 100. They do so by being flexible with numbers as they use the base-ten system to solve problems. The standard algorithm of carrying or borrowing is neither an expectation nor a focus in First Grade. Students use strategies for addition and subtraction in Grades K-3. By the end of Third Grade students use a range of algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction to fluently add and subtract within 1000. Students are expected to fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm by the end of Grade 4. (NCPDI, p. 21).
Common Performance Task with Rubric for this Unit:
Use part of a hundreds chart to show 10 and 1 more than a given number, write a number sentence to represent that problem, and show thinking on an open number line.

Future learning:
“Understanding the value of the digits is more than telling the number of tens and hundreds. Second grade students who truly understand the position and place value of the digits are also able to confidently model the number with some type of visual representation. Others who seem like they know, because they can state which number is in the tens place, may not truly know what each digit represents.” Click here for more info
Second graders apply their understanding of place value concepts from first grade to help them represent numbers flexibly with base ten blocks. Having a deep understanding of this concept will help lay the groundwork for using operations with numbers.

Manipulatives:
  • Snap cubes –for student that need to physically build a group of ten
  • Hundreds chart – to practice adding and subtracting ten more, ten less, one more, and one less
  • Ten Frames – to help transition from a grouped models to a pre-grouped tool
  • Base ten blocks – to make connections to place value
LessonIdeas:
  • Read A Fair Bear Share – Students arrange items into groups of tens and left over ones to relate physical models to the pictorial representation using work mat.
  • Who’s Got the Most – Students use Base Ten Blocks to model two 2-digit numbers.
  • The Game of Tens and Ones – Use dice to add or subtract on a Hundreds chart.
  • Race for a Flat–players take turns rolling number cubes and finding the sums of the numbers rolled. Base Ten Blocks are used to represent the sums in an effort to be the first to accumulate blocks with a total value of 100. Be sure to have students record the equation each time they add.
  • Go Math Benchmark PracticeGetting Ready for Grade 2 Lesson 8: Add a One-Digit Number to a Two-Digit Number, p. P265-P266 student practice adding a one digit to a two digit number.
  • Race to Clear the Mat –children take turns rolling two number cubes to determine the value of the Base Ten Blocks to remove from their place-value mat in an effort to be the first to clear all the blocks off their mat.
  • Voyages Anchors: Subtraction Counting Patterns p. 161-162 students apply subtraction strategies using a number line.

Sample HOT Questions: Select or create appropriate questions to facilitate student discussion.
  • How many groups of 10 can be made from __? How many ones would be left over?
  • What things in our classroom can we add together by making groups of tens?
  • How do your tools represent what is happening in the problem?
  • Are 5 tens and 11 ones the same as 6 tens and 1 one? Justify your thinking.
  • After you rolled the number cubes, how did you know how many units to put on your mat?
  • After you rolled the number cubes, how did you find the number of units to clearoff your mat?

Our students are better able to…
  • Directly model the actions within a word problem using base ten blocks and other tools (SMP 1, 2, 4)
  • Articulate when and why they need to regroup when seeing an addition/subtraction problem (SMP 1, 3)
  • Use precise use of vocabulary when regrouping (SMP 6)

  • Provide opportunities for students to directly model the actions with a word problem using base ten blocks (SMP 1, 2, 4)
  • Help make connections with regrouping and representing numbers flexibly (SMP 3)
  • Emphasize precise use of vocabulary: ones, tens, digits, values, regroup, regrouping, trading, addend, sum, difference, represent, model (SMP 6)

1st / Global Concept 2 of 3for this Unit of Study (Click to view PowerPoint in slide show mode):Open Number LinesUtilize open number lines to track student thinking and record the jumps that make sense to them / Projected Time Allotment:
