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.


Standard options: 
A. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
B. For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
C. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
D. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
E. Fluently add and subtract within 5.

Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to try the algorithms they saw earlier in the lesson. The important thing is that they combine hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, and ones and ones, which should be a familiar idea from grade 2. The synthesis provides an opportunity to show a different way of recording newly composed tens and hundreds when compositions are required, which will be discussed in more detail in subsequent lessons. Provide access to base-ten blocks for students to use to support their reasoning about the algorithms, in case requested.
Students analyze and improve a given explanation of how to find a sum, filling in details and using more precise language to explain the calculation more fully (MP3, MP6).

Display the following partially correct answer and explanation:
[IMG]
I added the ones, the tens, and then hundreds.
Read the explanation aloud.
“What is unclear?”
1 minute: quiet think time
2 minute: partner discussion
“With your partner, work together to write a revised explanation.”
Display and review the following criteria:
Explanation for each step
Words such as: first, next, then
3–5 minute: partner work time
Select 1–2 groups to share their revised explanation with the class. Record responses as students share. (Sample explanation: First, I stacked the numbers vertically. Then, I added the ones to get 7 and recorded a 7 below the ones place. Next, I added 70 and 50 and got 120. I recorded 20 below the 7 and 100 below the 20. I added 600 and 200 to get 800 and recorded that below the 100. Then I added and wrote 927 as the answer.)
“What is the same and different about the explanations?” (Both explanations say that they added the ones, tens, and hundreds, but the revised explanation gives more detail about how to record each step.)
“How is this way of recording this work the same or different from Han’s method in the first activity?” (Han would record 120 in the second row where we record the tens. It was 12 tens, but that’s the same as 1 hundred and 2 tens. We could record 100 on one line and 20 on the next line.)
