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

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.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 discuss different ways to solve a three-addend story problem in which none of the addends can be combined to make 10 without being decomposed. Students solve the problem in a way that makes sense to them. Some students may build each number separately on the 10-frames and see both are filled. Some students may manipulate the numbers and think
\(8 + 7 + 5 = 8 + 2 + 5 + 5\)
. Different methods for solving are highlighted in the synthesis. It is important that the teacher represents student thinking, so that these methods are visible to all.
When students make sense of the story problems and connect the quantities in the story to an equation, they reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP2).
MLR6 Three Reads.
Keep books or devices closed. To launch this activity, display only the problem stem, without revealing the question. “We are going to read this story problem 3 times.” After the 1st Read: “Tell your partner what happened in the story.” After the 2nd Read: “What are all the things we can count in this story?” Reveal the question. After the 3rd Read: “What are different ways we can solve this problem?”
Advances: Reading, Representing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes or two-color counters
Double 10-frames
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to double 10-frames and connecting cubes or two-color counters.
Activity
Read the task statement.
4 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who:
place 8, 7, and 5 counters on the 10-frames and see that they are both full
count on
represent the problem as
\(8 + 2 + 5 + 5\)
use a known sum like
\(8 + 8\)
and then add 4 more.
Student Facing
Jada went to the zoo with her family.
They went to the reptile exhibit and saw 8 snakes, 7 iguanas, and 5 frogs.
