options: Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to revist stage 2 of the Number Puzzles center which was first introduced in grade 1. Students work together to use digit cards to make addition and subtraction equations within 20 true. Each digit card may only be used one time on a page.
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Number Puzzles Digit Cards
Number Puzzles Addition and Subtraction Stage 2 Gameboard
Required Preparation
Create one set of digit cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of digit cards and game boards.
“We are going to play a game you may have played in first grade called Number Puzzles."
"In this game, you use digit cards to make each equation true. You can only use each digit card once on the game board.”
Activity
10 minutes: center work time
Activity Synthesis
Display Puzzle 1.
“Which equation would you start with? Why would you start there?”
