standard_description: Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find the value of sums within 10. Students may apply what they learned about the commutative property and counting on. They may count on for certain equations, such as
\(+1\)
or
\(+2\)
equations as they can keep track easily, but count all for others. In the lesson synthesis, students return to the addition expressions cards they created in a previous lesson.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions
. Invite students to plan a method, including the tools they will use, for finding the sum. If time allows, invite students to share their plan with a partner before they begin.

Student Facing
Find the value of each sum.
\(7 + 2 = \boxed{\phantom{\frac{aaai}{aaai}}}\)
\(3 + 5 = \boxed{\phantom{\frac{aaai}{aaai}}}\)
\(\boxed{\phantom{\frac{aaai}{aaai}}} = 8 + 2\)
\(3 + 6 = \boxed{\phantom{\frac{aaai}{aaai}}}\)
\(5 + 2 = \boxed{\phantom{\frac{aaai}{aaai}}}\)
\(\boxed{\phantom{\frac{aaai}{aaai}}} = 4 + 4\)
\(2 + 6 = \boxed{\phantom{\frac{aaai}{aaai}}}\)
\(\boxed{\phantom{\frac{aaai}{aaai}}} = 1 + 9\)
