problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities focusing on two-digit numbers. Students are introduced to stage 3 of the Target Numbers center. Then students choose between that center or others previously introduced.
Students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers.

“Today you will choose from centers we have already learned. One of the choices is to play Target Numbers in a new way. Just like last time, your target number is 95. You will roll two cubes to get your starting number. Then, on each turn, roll three cubes and choose one of the numbers to represent the tens and another number to represent the ones. Add the new number you made to your starting number and record your equation. Continue playing for six rounds to see who gets closest to 95 without going over.”
Display the center choices in the student book.
