Lesson 6

Día 1 de centros (optional)

Warm-up: Conversación numérica: Dos más (10 minutes)

Narrative

The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for counting by 2. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in the unit when students will need to be able to use skip-counting to find the total number of objects in arrays and to represent arrays with equations.

Launch

  • Display one expression. 
  • “Hagan una señal cuando tengan una respuesta y puedan explicar cómo la obtuvieron” // “Give me a signal when you have an answer and can explain how you got it.”
  • 1 minute: quiet think time

Activity

  • Record answers and strategies.
  • Keep expressions and work displayed.
  • Repeat with each expression.

Activity Synthesis

  • “¿Cuáles expresiones podrían representar un número par de objetos? Expliquen” // “Which expressions could represent an even number of objects? Explain.” (They all could. Each 2 is like a pair. You can find each sum by counting by 2.)
