Lesson 6
Usemos una decena para sumar hasta 1,000
Lesson Purpose
Lesson Narrative
In previous grades, students developed fluency with sums of 10 and looked for ways to make a ten as a strategy for adding within 20. They used their understanding of these sums to make sense of composing a ten when adding by place and as a strategy for adding within 100.
In this lesson, students use what they know about making a ten to find the sum of a three-digit number and a two-digit number. Throughout the lesson, students may use the methods that make the most sense to them to add which may include counting or adding-on by place or adding tens and tens and ones and ones. They may also use whichever representations help them make sense of each sum, including number lines or base-ten blocks. The activity and lesson syntheses focus on using known sums of 10 to anticipate when a ten is composed when adding by place. This understanding will be used in upcoming lessons as students add two three-digit numbers by place and anticipate when units may need to be composed.
