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 for students to partition rectangles to create rows and columns of equal-size squares. In the launch, students build an array with tiles and then represent it on a rectangle with tick marks as guidance. They will partition rectangles without tick marks in the next activity.
MLR2 Collect and Display.
Synthesis: Direct attention to words collected and displayed from the previous lessons. Include the word “partition.” Invite students to borrow language from the display as needed, and update it throughout the lesson.
Advances: Conversing, Reading
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Inch tiles
Rulers
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students rulers and inch tiles.
Activity
“Use 8 tiles to make a rectangle. Your tiles should be in 2 rows.”
1 minute: independent work time
“Now, draw lines in the rectangle to show the squares. It should have the same number of equal-size squares as the rectangle you made out of tiles. You may use a ruler if it helps you.”
1 minute: independent work time
“You will draw lines to partition 2 more rectangles into equal-size squares. You can also use the tiles to build it first, if that helps.”
10 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing

Advancing Student Thinking
If students create equations that match the total number of squares, but do not represent the sum of squares in each row or the sum of squares in each column, consider asking:
“How does your equation match the array?”
“Can you write an equation with equal addends that shows the sum of each row or column?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite 1
–
2 students to share their rectangles and equations for their rectangle with 3 rows and 5 columns. (
\(3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15\)
or
\(5 + 5 + 5 = 15\)
)
Draw a rectangle and partition to show:
[IMG]
“How is this partition different from what we did in this activity?” (The squares aren’t the same size and the last column has 4 not 3.)
