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 warm-up is to draw students’ attention to the first few multiples of 45, which will be helpful as students continue to work with benchmark angles and use a protractor to measure angles. Students have the skills to perform the multiplication in each equation, but computing each product may be time-consuming. Students can more efficiently tell if the equations are true or false if they consider properties of operations and look for and make use of structure.
Launch
Display one equation.
“Give me a signal when you know whether the equation is true and can explain how you know.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Share and record answers and strategy.
Repeat with each statement.
Student Facing
Decide if each statement is true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
\(2 \times 45 = 6 \times 15\)
\(4 \times 45 = 2 \times 90\)
\(3 \times 45 = 180 - 90\)
\(6 \times 45 = 45 + 90 + 135\)

Activity Synthesis
Some students may notice that it is handy to think in terms of
\(2 \times 45\)
because it would mean dealing with multiples of 90 rather than multiples of 45. Highlight their explanations.
If no students decomposed expressions such as
\(3 \times 45\)
,
\(4 \times 45\)
, and
\(6 \times 45\)
into sums of
\(1 \times 45\)
and
\(2 \times 45\)
, discuss how this could be done. (See sample responses.)
