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

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.

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.

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.

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

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

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

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.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to add or subtract to find unknown addends within 20. Students will find unknown addends when the total is 20. The known addends may encourage students to think about ways to make a ten and to use the sums and differences that they know (MP7).
MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Synthesis: After all strategies have been presented, lead a discussion comparing, contrasting, and connecting the different approaches. Ask, “Why did the different approaches lead to the same outcome? What did the methods have in common? How were they different?”
Advances: Representing, Conversing
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Students may benefit from feedback that emphasizes effort and time on task. For example, give feedback on the partner relationship and how students are able to work together to complete a task. Encourage both partners to share ideas and speak up to agree or disagree.
Supports accessibility for: Social-Emotional Functioning, Attention
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Number Cards 0-19
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of cards.
Activity
“Let’s play another game to find unknown addends.”
Select a volunteer to be your partner.
“Partner A will draw a card and hold it on their forehead without looking.”
Prompt the volunteer to demonstrate.
“Partner B names a number that you can add to the number on the card to get to 20.”
Think aloud finding and naming the number.
“Partner A then names the number they are holding on their head.”
Prompt the volunteer to find the number.
“Check your work and write an equation to represent how you found an unknown addend in the turn. Share your equation with your partner. Switch roles and play again.”
12 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
use place value reasoning or look to make 10
use known addition or subtraction facts
make equivalent, but easier sums or differences
Student Facing
Directions:
Partner A holds a card on their forehead without looking.
Partner B names the number that you can add to the number on the card to get 20.
Partner A says the number on their card.
Record an equation to represent how you found the unknown addend.

Activity Synthesis
“Mai thought of trying to make 2 tens. What number needs to be added to 12 to make 2 tens?”
“What other methods did you use to find the unknown addend?”
Invite previously identified students to share methods.
“Pull out the number cards for 0–9, as you will use them in the next activity.”
