Lesson 13
Resolvamos nuestros problemas-historia
Warm-up: Conversación numérica: Formemos una decena (10 minutes)
Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding within 100. Students may share how they use mental strategies to make a ten. When students share how they use the value of one expression to find the value of the next expression, they look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning (MP8).
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.
Student Facing
Encuentra mentalmente el valor de cada expresión.
- \(38 + 7\)
- \(38 + 17\)
- \(38 + 27\)
- \(38 + 57\)

Activity Synthesis
- “¿Qué cambia en la segunda, en la tercera y en la cuarta suma?” // “What changes in the second, third, and fourth sums?” (the tens of the second number)
- “¿Cómo les ayuda esto a calcular la tercera y la cuarta suma?” // “How does this help you calculate the third and fourth sums?” (I just add some more tens.)
Activity 1: Resolvamos problemas-historia (20 minutes)
Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to solve their story problems and represent one or more ways to solve the problem (MP2). As students work, encourage them to find a different way to solve the problem or a different way to represent the problem once they have completed a solution.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Launch
- Groups of 2
- Give students materials to make posters.
Activity
- “Hoy van a resolver su problema-historia y luego van a hacer un póster que muestre su problema y cómo lo resolvieron” // “Today you are going to solve your story problem and then make a poster that shows your story problem and how you solved it.”
- “Si les queda tiempo, pueden usar imágenes, palabras o símbolos para mostrar distintas maneras de resolver el problema” // “If you have time, you can show different ways to solve the problem using pictures, words, or symbols.”
- 10 minutes: independent work time
- “Compartan su póster con su compañero y hagan ajustes si es necesario” // “Share your poster with your partner and make revisions if needed.”
- 5 minutes: partner discussion

Activity Synthesis
- “En la siguiente actividad, van a ver los pósteres y a dejar comentarios” // “In the next activity, you are going to look at the posters and leave comments.”
- “¿En qué cosas se van a fijar cuando vean los pósteres?” // “What are some things that you will look for when you look at the posters?” (Do I understand the story? Do I agree with the solution? Can I follow the thinking or reasoning?)
- “Mencionen varias maneras en las que se pueden mostrar las soluciones de los problemas” // “What are some different ways you can show solutions to the problems?” (pictures of objects, base-ten pictures, diagrams, number line diagrams, expressions, equations)
- “Préstenle atención a todas estas representaciones y piensen en cuáles escogerían si estuvieran resolviendo el problema” // “Keep an eye out for all of these representations and think about which ones you would choose if you were solving the problem.”
Activity 2: Recorrido por el salón: Problemas-historia (15 minutes)
Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to see the different story problem posters their classmates made. After the gallery walk, students have a chance to make revisions to their own posters. This could be making corrections, but it could also be adding new details or different representations based on what they learned from seeing the other posters. Some students might need guidance with asking mathematical questions or leaving feedback using precise math language (MP3, MP6).
Consider asking or displaying:
- “Mencionen algo que hayan leído o visto que les haya ayudado a entender el problema-historia” // “What is something you read or saw that helped you understand the story problem?”
- “Mencionen algo que el autor del póster podría agregar o cambiar para hacer que el problema sea más claro” // “What is something the writer could add or change to help make the problem more clear?”
- “Mencionen algo que hayan visto que ayudó a aclarar cómo se resolvió el problema” // “What is something you saw that made it clear how the problem was solved?”
- “Mencionen algo que se puede agregar o cambiar para que el método del autor del póster sea más claro” // “What is something that could be added or changed to make the writer’s method more clear?”
- “¿Qué preguntas tienen sobre el problema-historia o la solución?” // “What questions do you have about the story problem or the solution?”
The goal of the activity synthesis is to reflect on how the posters were the same and how they were different.
