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.


Topic options: 
A. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
B. 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.
C. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
D. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
E. 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.
F. 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.
G. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
H. 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.
I. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
J. 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.
K. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to understand that the standard algorithm for subtraction can be used with decimals. Students first find the value of a difference of decimals using a strategy that makes sense to them and then see calculations organized using the standard algorithm. When students calculate using a strategy of their choice, they may or may not show decomposition of a whole into 10 tenths. The standard algorithm explicitly shows this decomposition.
When students share their explanation of Han's calculations with a partner and revise their work after receiving feedback they critique the reasoning of others and improve their arguments (MP3).

MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time
“Share your description of Han’s work with your partner. Take turns being the speaker and the listener. If you are the speaker, share your ideas and writing so far. If you are the listener, ask questions and give feedback to help your partner improve their work.”
3–5 minutes: structured partner discussion
Repeat with 2–3 different partners.
“Revise your initial draft based on the feedback you got from your partners.”

Activity Synthesis
“Solve the last problem on your own.”
2-3 minutes: independent work time
“How is the standard algorithm for subtraction the same as the standard algorithm for addition?” (I work from right to left. I line up all of the place values and make sure the digits I am subtracting have the same place value.)
“How is the standard algorithm for subtraction different than the standard algorithm for addition?” (Sometimes I need to decompose a unit. I need to decompose a whole into 10 tenths. With addition, I sometimes need to compose a new unit.)
