Problem/activity:
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: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to notice the pattern that when 0 is added to a number, the number stays the same and the pattern that when 1 is added to a number, the total is the next number in the count sequence, or 1 more (MP7).
MLR2 Collect and Display.
Collect the language students use to describe what they notice about the value of the expressions when 0 and 1 are added. Display phrases such as: “When we add 0, the total is the same number that we started with, because nothing was added.” During the synthesis, invite students to borrow language from the display as needed.
Advances: Conversing, Reading
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Some students may benefit from reiterating the patterns of adding zero and adding one. Make a connection between the two patterns students should notice. For example, “When you add zero to any number you get the same number because adding zero is adding nothing”, “When you add one to any number the total is the next number in the count sequence, or one more.”
