standard_description: Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for multiplying a one-digit number and a two-digit number, which will be helpful later in this lesson when students continue to practice multiplying within 100.

Activity Synthesis
“How did you figure out the more challenging products?” (Once I knew
\(4\times20\)
, I was able to build on it to find
\(4\times21\)
and
\(4\times24\)
by just adding more fours. I knew that 4 groups of 25 make 100, so I took away 4 to find 4 groups of 24.)
