standard_description: Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit the idea that fingers and 5-frames both show 10 in 2 groups of 5, which will be useful when students use 5-frames to create a 10-frame and represent quantities on 10-frames in later activities.
