problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit the idea that expressions and equations can be used to represent different compositions and decompositions of 10, which will be useful when students match compositions and decompositions of 10 to equations in a later activity. While students may notice and wonder many things about these images and expressions, the fact that each image and expression represents a total of 10 is the important discussion point. Students have seen equations in previous lessons, but the synthesis is the first time that students are introduced to the term

“What is the same about each expression?” (They are all 10.)
Write
\(10 = 7 + 3\)
.
“There are 10 counters, 7 red counters and 3 yellow counters. We can write that as 10 is 7 plus 3. When we write
\(10 = 7 + 3\)
, it is called an
