Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.

problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to revisit ideas they learned in the previous lesson about balanced hangers:
You can add or subtract the same thing on each side and the hanger stays in balance.
You can divide each side by the same number and the hanger stays in balance.
Launch
Give students 2 minutes of quiet work time followed by a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
Figures A, B, C, and D show the result of simplifying the hanger in Figure A by removing equal weights from each side.
[IMG]
Here are some equations. Each equation represents one of the hanger diagrams.
\(2(x + 3y) = 4x + 2y\)
\(2y = x\)
\(2(x + 3y) + 2z = 2z + 4x + 2y\)
\(x + 3y = 2x + y\)
Write the equation that goes with each figure:
A:
B:
C:
D:
Each variable (
\(x\)
,
\(y\)
, and
\(z\)
) represents the weight of one shape. Which goes with which?
Explain what was done to each equation to create the next equation. If you get stuck, think about how the hangers changed.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Some students may think a variable stands for more than one object. Tell these students that a variable only stands for one object, as it also only represents one number.
Activity Synthesis
Ask students to explain how they decided on the matching equation. As students discuss the final questions, highlight responses that emphasize the same objects being removed from each side creates the next figure in line. The exception to this is the move from Hanger B to Hanger C, where the number of objects on each side is halved. Ask students to explain why this is an okay move, even though different objects are being removed from each side (1 square and 3 triangles on the left, 2 squares and 1 triangle on the right). Refer to MLR 2 (Collect and Display).
