Lesson 13
Center Day 2 (optional)
Warm-up: True or False: Two or False (10 minutes)
Narrative
The purpose of this True or False is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding with multiples of 2 and 2 equal addends. These understandings help students deepen their understanding of the properties of operations, fluency within 20, and will be helpful practice as students develop foundations for multiplication.
Launch
- Display one statement.
- “Give me a signal when you know whether the statement is true and can explain how you know.”
- 1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
- Share and record answers and strategy.
- Repeat with each statement.
Student Facing
Decide if each statement is true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
- \(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 4 + 4\)
- \(2 + 2 + 2 = 3 + 3\)
- \(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 5 + 5\)
