options: 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students find the value of sums with larger numbers using any method that makes sense to them. They may represent their thinking using connecting cubes, drawings, equations, or words. Monitor for the ways students use methods based on place value, including the language they use to describe composing a ten when adding tens and tens and ones and ones (MP3, MP6).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: After a strategy is presented to the class, invite students to turn to a partner and restate what they heard in their own words. Encourage students to borrow language from a display with words and phrases collected from previous lessons.
Advances: Listening, Speaking
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes
Required Preparation
Create connecting cubes in towers of 10 and singles.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to connecting cubes in towers of 10 and singles.
“Now we are going to add larger numbers. Think about how you can show your thinking so others can understand.”
“You have time to work independently before sharing your thinking with a partner.”
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
5 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who:
Add by place value (
\(27 + 15\)
,
\(20 + 10 = 30\)
,
\(7 + 5 = 12\)
,
\(30 + 12 = 42\)
)
Decompose 1 number to make a 10, then add the rest (
\(27 + 15\)
,
\(27 + 3 = 30\)
,
\(30 + 12 = 42\)
)
Student Facing
Find the value of each sum. Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.
\(37 + 8\)
\(24 + 23\)
\(16 + 30\)
\(39 + 11\)
\(27 + 15\)
