Lesson 5

The purpose of this How Many Do You See is to allow students to subitize or use grouping strategies to describe the images they see (MP7). They may additionally make use of structure (MP7) because in successive images the arrangement of dots remains the same, but some dots are removed.

• Groups of 2
• “¿Cuántos puntos ven? ¿Cómo lo saben?, ¿qué ven?” // “How many dots do you see and how do you see them?”
• Flash image.
• 30 seconds: quiet think time

• Display image.
• 1 minute: partner discussion
• Record responses.
• Repeat for each image.

• Display the image with 6 dots and the image with 4 dots in the same configuration.
• “¿Qué cambió de este grupo de puntos a este otro?” // “What changed from this group of dots to the next?” (Some of the dots were taken away.)
• “Hemos trabajado con la suma de objetos. Hoy vamos a aprender cómo restar, o quitar, objetos” // “We have been working on adding objects. Today we are going to learn about how to subtract, or take away, objects.”

The purpose of this activity is for students to represent subtraction with objects. Students connect the action of subtraction with the language “take away.”

• Groups of 2
• Give each student at least 10 counters.
• “Cuenten y separen 4 fichas” // “Count out 4 counters.”
• 30 seconds: independent work time
• “Tienen 4 fichas. Ahora, quieten 2 fichas” // “You have 4 counters. Now take away 2 of the counters.”
• 30 seconds: independent work time
• Write “4 quitando 2” // “4 take away 2.”
• “¿Cuántas fichas tienen ahora?” // “How many counters do you have now?” (2)
• 30 seconds: quiet think time
• Select a student to share what they did with the counters and how many counters they have left.
• “Voy a escribir 2 sobre la línea. Ahora, mi frase dice ‘Quedan 2 fichas’” // “I’m going to write a 2 on the line. Now my sentence says ‘There are 2 counters left.’”

• Read each prompt to students. Pause between each line to give students time to count out and take away the counters and record the difference.
• As students work, ask:
  • “¿Con cuáles fichas empezaron?” // “Which counters did you start with?”
  • “¿Cuáles fichas quitaron?” // “Which counters did you take away?”
  • “¿Cuáles fichas quedan?” // “Which counters are left?”

• Display 6 counters.
• “Tengo 6 fichas. Voy a quitar 4 fichas” // “I have 6 counters. I am going to take away 4 counters.”
• Take away 4 counters.
• “6 quitando 4 es 2” // “6 take away 4 is 2.”

The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 2 of the 5-frames center. Students represent subtraction with objects. Students begin with 5 counters on a 5-frame, take some counters away, and figure out how many counters are left.

The recording sheet is printed in the student book for this activity. There is a blackline master available for students to use during centers in future activities and lessons.

• Each group of 2 needs 1 connecting cube.

• Give each group 1 connecting cube, 10 counters, and a number mat. 
• “Vamos a aprender una nueva forma de trabajar en el centro ‘Tableros de 5’, se llama ‘Tableros de 5: Resta’” // “We are going to learn a new way to do the 5-frames center. It is called 5-Frames, Subtract.”
• Display a 5-frame filled with 5 counters. 
• “En cada ronda de este juego, van a empezar llenando con fichas el tablero de 5 que está en la parte de arriba de la hoja de registro. Luego, lanzan el cubo sobre el tablero de números para ver cuántas fichas deben quitar. Un compañero lanza el cubo y el otro quita las fichas” // “For each round in this game, you will begin by filling the 5-frame at the top of the recording sheet with counters. Then you will roll the cube onto the number mat to see how many counters you will take away. One partner rolls the cube and the other takes the counters away.”
• Demonstrate filling in the 5-frame with counters. 
• Invite a student to be your partner and roll the cube onto the number mat.
• “Mi compañero lanzó el cubo y obtuvo 3, entonces voy a quitar 3 fichas” // “My partner rolled a 3 so I am going to take away 3 counters.”
• Demonstrate taking away 3 counters and placing them to the side.
• “Después de que quiten las fichas, descubran cuántas fichas quedan y escriban el número en la hoja de registro” // “After you take away the counters, figure out how many counters are left and write the number on the recording sheet.”
• Write the number 2 on the recording sheet. 
• “Ahora, van a jugar con su compañero. Por turnos, uno lanza el cubo y el otro quita las fichas” // “Now you will play with your partner. Take turns rolling the cube and taking away the counters.”

• 5 minutes: partner work time

• Show a 5-frame with 3 counters.
• “¿Con cuántas fichas comenzamos?” // “How many counters did we start with?”
• “¿Cuántas fichas quitamos? ¿Cómo lo saben?” // “How many counters did we take away? How do you know?”
• Write and invite students to chorally repeat “5 quitando 2” // “5 take away 2.”
• “¿Cuántas fichas nos quedan?” // “How many counters do we have left?”
• Write “Quedan 3 fichas” // “There are 3 counters left.”

The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities that offer practice adding and subtracting with objects and images, writing numbers, and describing and building with shapes.

Students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers.

• 5-Frames
• Roll and Add
• Math Libs
• Match Mine

• Gather materials from: 
  • 5-Frames, Stages 1 and 2
  • Roll and Add, Stage 1
  • Math Libs, Stage 1
  • Match Mine, Stage 1

• “Hoy vamos a escoger centros de los que ya conocemos. También pueden seguir jugando ‘Tableros de 5’” // “Today we are going to choose from centers we have already learned. You can also continue playing 5-frames.”
• 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

• Display a full 5-frame.
• “Han está jugando ‘Tableros de 5: Resta’. Él lanzó un cubo que cayó en 1 y dice que ahora tiene 6 fichas. ¿Qué piensan sobre lo que Han dice?” // “Han is playing 5-Frames Subtract. He rolled the cube and landed on 1. He says he has 6 counters now. What do you think?”
