standard_description: Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities that focus on counting up to 20 objects or adding and subtracting within 10. Students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers and are encouraged to choose the center that will be most helpful for them at this time.

In the synthesis, students discuss ways they can continue building fluency with addition and subtraction within 10 at home. Consider sending home copies of the center activities for students to play at home.

Activity Synthesis
“We have been playing a lot of games to help us build fluency with addition and subtraction within 10. How can you continue working on addition and subtraction at home?” (I could use flash cards. I could play these games with my family.)
