standard_description: Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding within 100. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students add 2 two-digit numbers, with composing a ten, using methods based on place value and the properties of operations.
In this activity, students have an opportunity to look for and make use of structure (MP7) because they decompose addends to make a new ten.

Activity Synthesis
“How could
\(7 + 3\)
help you solve
\(37 + 3\)
?” (I know 37 is 3 more tens than 7. Since I know
\(3 + 7\)
is 10, I need to add
\(30 +10\)
.)
“How could
\(7 + 3\)
help you solve
\(7 + 8\)
?” (
\(7 + 3 = 10\)
. So far I have added 3 of the 8 and have 5 left.
\(10 + 5 = 15\)
.)
“How could
\(7 + 8\)
help you solve
\(57 + 8\)
?” (Since I know
\(7 + 8 = 15\)
, I can add
\(50 + 15 = 65\)
)
