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.


Your response:
Thought: This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

K
options: Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to analyze strategies for adding and subtracting numbers to the ten-thousands place. Students look at addition problems that require composing new units, when the sum of the digits in a particular place value exceeds 10. The subtraction problems do not require students to decompose a unit, as this will be addressed in future lessons. They look at 2 strategies.
Strategy A allows students to add each number in terms of the value of each digit, written in expanded form. Strategy B follows the same logic, but without writing the full value that each digit represents. Then, students use the same strategies to subtract without decomposing a unit.
When students perform operations on the quantities in the situation, they reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP2).

“Now let’s look at the weekend activity,”
Display the image in the task.
“What do you notice about the number of steps the teacher took during the week versus on the weekend?” (The teacher took a lot more steps each day during the weekend.)
Activity
2 minutes: quiet think time
6–7 minutes: partner work time
Student Facing
The teacher also keeps track of the number of steps she took during the weekend. The data from Saturday and Sunday of that same week are shown.
[IMG]
Here are two strategies to compute the total number of steps she took over the weekend.
Strategy A
[IMG]
Strategy B
[IMG]
Analyze the strategies. Discuss with your partner:
What is happening in each strategy?
How are they alike? How are they different?
Use both strategies to find the difference between the number of steps the teacher took on Saturday and on Sunday.
During another week, the teacher took 26,815 steps during the weekdays and 11,403 steps during the weekend. Use both strategies to find the total number of steps she took that week.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may accurately write numbers in expanded form to subtract, but add the values instead of subtracting them because of the addition symbols they see. Consider refocusing students to the original problem and asking: “How might you find the difference between the values in each place?”
Activity Synthesis
Ask students to explain how the strategies are alike and how they are different. (They both add by place value and get the same answer, but one strategy breaks each number up and the other does not.)
“Why might a student have used one of the strategies instead of the other?”
“Strategy B is called the
standard algorithm
and is useful when we add and subtract large numbers.”
