options: 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.

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

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

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to put numbers 1–20 in order.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Invite each group to chorally read numbers 1–20 in order once the group agrees on the order. Listen for and clarify questions.
Advances: Speaking, Conversing
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Number Cards 1-20
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 4.
Launch
Groups of 4
Give each group of students a set of number cards, not in sequence.
Activity
“Work with your group to put the numbers in order from 1 to 20.”
3 minutes: small-group work time
“Once your group agrees that the numbers are in the correct order, write the numbers in order from 1 to 20.”
3 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing
Write the numbers in order.

Activity Synthesis
“How did you decide the order of the numbers?”
Display numbers 1–12 in order.
“Clare is putting the numbers in order. What would you say to her to help her find the number that comes next?” (Look for 13 because it comes after 12. Look for the number that has a 3 because the last number has a 2.)
