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.


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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to examine subtraction cases in which non-zero digits are subtracted from zero digits. In some cases, students could simply look at the digit to the left of a 0 and decompose 1 unit of that number. But in other cases, the digit to the left is another 0 (or more than one 0), which means looking further to the left until reaching a non-zero digit. Students learn to decompose that unit first, and then move to the right, decomposing units of smaller place values until reaching the original digits being subtracted. The problems are sequenced from fewer zeros to more zeros to allow students to see how to successively decompose units.
Recording all of the decompositions can be challenging. For the last problem, two sample responses are given to show two different ways of recording the decompositions. The important point to understand is that because there are no tens, hundreds, or thousands to decompose, a ten-thousand must be decomposed to make 10 thousands. Then, one of the thousands is decomposed to make 10 hundreds, and so on, until reaching the ones place. Those successive decompositions can be lined up horizontally, but this can make it hard to see what happened first. A second way shows more clearly the order in which the decompositions happen, but it may be challenging to see which place the successive decomposed units are in.
To add movement to this activity, the second problem could be done as a gallery walk where each group completes one problem and then walk around the room to look for similarities and differences in others’ posters.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display sentence frames to support partner discussion: “I noticed _____ so I . . .”, and “I wonder if . . . .”
Advances: Conversing, Representing
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Maintain a visible display to record language that students can use to explain their work. Include important vocabulary, such as the name of each place value category, decompose, and exchange. Also include sentence frames, such as: “I looked at the _____ place and saw that I did not have enough ____ to subtract.” and “I exchanged one ______ for 10 _____.”

Here are some numbers you saw earlier. Each number has at least one 0. From each number, 1,436 is being subtracted.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may lose track of the units when multiple rounds of decompositions are required. Offer base-ten blocks and prompt students to show multiple decompositions when finding the value of
\(100 - 1\)
using a large square base-ten block that represents 100. Consider asking:
“How can you show subtraction of 1?” (Exchange it for 100 ones.)
“What if we could only exchange 1 unit for 10 units at a time?” (Exchange the hundred for 10 tens, then exchange 1 ten for 10 ones, so that we’d have 9 tens and 10 ones. Then, we can remove 1.)
“How would you show the subtraction of 1 from 100 using the standard algorithm?”
Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share responses and to demonstrate consecutive decomposing when multiple zeros are involved.
If needed, use expanded form to represent the decompositions students are explaining.
