Lesson 1

The purpose of this How Many Do You See is to allow students to use subitizing or grouping strategies to describe the images they see. The images encourage students to use addition or subtraction within 10. Students may add the red and yellow counters or use the structure of the 10-frame and subtract the number of empty spaces from 10.

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

• Display the image.
• “Discutan con su pareja cómo pensaron” // “Discuss your thinking with your partner.”
• 1 minute: partner discussion
• Record responses.
• Repeat for each image.

• “¿Cómo les ayuda el tablero de 10 a saber la suma de dos números?” // “How can the 10-frame help you know the sum of two numbers?” (When I look at a 10-frame I can tell how many are there without counting. When I see two numbers in the 10-frame, I can tell what the sum is by looking at how many empty spaces there are and subtracting from 10.)

The purpose of this activity is for students to identify the sums within 10 that they do not yet know from memory. Students write these sums on index cards which can then be used as flash cards in order to help students practice fluency throughout the unit.

• Give students colored pencils and index cards.
• “Hoy vamos a repasar sumas hasta 10. Vamos a identificar las sumas que ya nos sabemos y las sumas que nos siguen pareciendo desafiantes” // “Today we are going to revisit sums with values up to 10. We will identify the sums we know the value of from memory and the sums we are still working on."
• Display addition chart.
• Demonstrate saying the value of some of the sums you know aloud, then quickly coloring in that box of the chart. Demonstrate skipping around on the chart, rather than moving down a row or column, to avoid using patterns to identify sums that students aren’t fluent with yet.
• “Miren las expresiones de la tabla y coloreen todas las sumas que ya se saben de memoria. Cuando terminen, probablemente les van a quedar algunas casillas sin colorear. Estas son las sumas que todavía les parecen desafiantes. Escriban cada una de estas sumas en una tarjeta. Después, usen las tarjetas para practicar estas sumas” // “Look at each expression in the chart and color in all the sums you know from memory. When you are done, you will probably have some boxes that are not colored in. These are the sums you are still working on. Write each of these sums on a card. Then use the cards to practice these sums.”

• 10 minutes: independent work time
• Monitor for sums many students identify they still need to work on.

• “A muchos de nosotros nos siguen pareciendo desafiantes algunas sumas. ¿Cómo podemos practicar estas sumas para encontrar sus valores con fluidez?” // “Many of us have a few sums we are still working on. How can we practice these sums so we find their values with fluency?” (We can think of sums we do know quickly that are like the ones we don't know quickly. We can look for ways to make those sums easier. We can have someone quiz us on them. We can practice different ways that are faster than counting all or using our fingers.)

The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities that focus on building fluency adding within 10. Students choose from previously introduced centers.

• Check It Off
• Number Puzzles
• Capture Squares

• Gather materials from previous centers:
  • Check It Off, Stage 1
  • Number Puzzles, Stage 1
  • Capture Squares, Stage 1

• Groups of 2
• “Hoy vamos a escoger centros de los que ya conocemos” // “Today we are going to 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 les ayuda más: practicar las sumas con sus tarjetas o jugar juegos que tienen sumas hasta 10?” // “Is it more helpful to practice sums on your index cards, or to play games using addition within 10?” (Index cards because you only focus on the ones you don’t know yet. Games because you get to practice lots of different facts and it is more fun.)
