Lesson 9
Sumemos números de tres dígitos
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to add 2 three-digit numbers.
Lesson Narrative
In previous lessons, students added a two-digit number and a three-digit number. They shared and compared methods and representations that showed adding by place and composing units.
In this lesson, students practice adding within 1,000. They add two three-digit numbers using methods based on place value and the properties of operations. Students also compare diagrams and drawings to written methods that use equations and expressions. They analyze work to identify why a method worked and identify any errors if the method did not work (MP3).

Teacher Reflection Questions
Reflect on who participated in math class today. What assumptions are you making about those who did not participate? How can you leverage each of your students’ ideas to support them in being seen and heard in tomorrow’s math class?
