problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use their understanding of place value to make an equation true when a digit in a two-digit number is “missing.” Students consider the values of the digits in order to justify their thinking. Students may use connecting cubes in towers of 10 and singles, create drawings, or write about their reasoning.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Prior to solving the problems, invite students to make sense of the situations and take turns sharing their understanding with their partner. Listen for and clarify any questions about the context.
Advances: Reading, Representing
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Invite students to decide with their partners what tools they will use to find the missing digit. Allow time for students to organize tools.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Attention
