standard_description: Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to analyze a clock showing a time when it can be difficult to tell the difference between the hour and the minute hand. This activity allows students to discuss how they know where the hands are placed when the time is to the hour.

“Why do you think Priya got mixed up? What could you say to help her revise her thinking?” (Priya mixed up the minute and hour hands. I could remind her that the short hand is the hour and the long hand is the minute. I could remind her that if it was 12:30 the hour hand would have to be between two numbers.)
“On the blank clock, draw hands to show 12:30.”
