Lesson 17

The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for counting by ten and adding by place value. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students develop ways to efficiently count large collections of objects. Students show an understanding of place value when they observe that the sums have the same digit in the ones place but the digit in the tens place changes (MP7).

• Display one expression.
• “Hagan una señal cuando tengan una respuesta y puedan explicar cómo la obtuvieron” // “Give me a signal when you have an answer and can explain how you got it.”
• 1 minute: quiet think time

• Record answers and strategy.
• Keep expressions and work displayed.
• Repeat with each expression.

• “¿Cómo usaron lo que saben sobre el valor posicional para encontrar las sumas?” // “How did you use what you know about place value to find the sums?” (I knew I could start at 27 and count by ten. I knew 30 is the same as 3 tens. I know I could add the tens from each number together and the ones together.)

The purpose of this activity is for students to revisit stage 3 of the Counting Collections center. Students are given a collection of up to 120 objects. They record an estimate for how many objects they think are in their collection. Then, they work with a partner to figure out how many objects are in their collection and each partner records how many. Students may draw pictures, write numbers or equations, or use base-ten representations to show their collection. The large groups of objects encourage students to use more sophisticated counting methods such as grouping and counting by twos, fives, or tens. Monitor for students who group objects, count by tens, and justify their total by connecting their total to the number of tens and ones they counted.

10-frames are provided as a blackline master. Students will continue to use these throughout the year. Consider copying them on cardstock or laminating them and keeping them organized to be used repeatedly. Bags of objects should be saved for use in later lessons.

• Each group of 2 needs a collection of 100–120 objects.

• Groups of 2
• Give each group a collection of 100–120 objects.
• “Vamos a retomar un centro que tal vez ya jugaron en kínder o en primer grado. Junto con su pareja van a recibir una colección de objetos. Su trabajo es averiguar cuántos objetos hay en su colección y mostrar cómo contaron” // “We are going to revisit a center you may have played in Kindergarten or first grade. You and your partner will get a collection of objects. Your job is to figure out how many objects are in your collection and show how you counted.”

• 8 minutes: partner work time
• If needed:
  • “¿Cómo van a contar los objetos de su colección?” // "How are you going to count your collection?"
  • “¿Cuántos objetos había en su colección? ¿Pueden mostrarlo?” // "How many objects were in your collection? Can you prove it to me?"
  • “¿Pueden hacer un dibujo para mostrar cómo contaron?” // "Can you draw a picture to show how you counted?"
• Monitor for students who organize their objects into groups of 10 as they count and create a representation with drawings or numbers.

• Select previously identified students to share.
• “¿Cómo sabían qué objetos ya habían contando mientras contaban?” // “How did you keep track as you counted?”
• “¿Cómo hizo _____ para representar la forma como contó?” // “How did _____ represent how they counted?

The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities that focus on adding and subtracting or sorting and representing data.

Students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers.

• What's Behind My Back?
• How Close?
• Number Puzzles
• Sort and Display

Gather materials from:

• What's Behind My Back, Stages 2 and 3
• How Close, Stages 1–3
• Number Puzzles, Stages 1 and 2
• Sort and Display, Stage 2

• “Hoy van a escoger centros de los que ya conocemos” // “Today you will choose from centers we have already learned.”
• Display the center choices in the student book.
• “Piensen qué les gustaría hacer primero” // “Think about what you would like to do first.”
• 30 seconds: quiet think time

• Invite students to work at the center of their choice. 
• 10 minutes: center work time
• “Escojan qué les gustaría hacer ahora” // "Choose what you would like to do next."
• 10 minutes: center work time

• “¿Qué actividad escogieron? ¿Qué les gustó de la actividad que escogieron?” // “Which activity did you choose? What did you like about the activity you chose?”
