This unit extends the exploration of addition and subtraction that began in Prekindergarten. Students will represent addition and subtraction in a variety of ways, solve addition and subtraction word problems by using objects or drawings to represent the problem, decompose numbers less than or equal to 10, determine the number needed to add to a given number to equal a total of ten, and fluently add and subtract within 5. This is the first fluency expectation of the Maryland Common Core State Standards.
A question is essential when it stimulates multi-layered inquiry, provokes deep thought and lively discussion, requires students to consider alternatives and justify their reasoning, encourges re-thinking of big ideas, makes meaningful connections with prior learning, and provides students with opportunities to apply problem-solving skills to authentic situations.
UNIT LESSON:
Understand Addition as Putting Together and Adding TO, and Understand Subtraction as Taking Apart and Taking From
Additional information such as Teachers Notes, Enduring Understandings,Content Emphasis by Cluster, Focus Standards, Possible Student Outcomes, Essential Skills and Knowledge Statements and Clarifications, and Interdisciplinary Connections can be found in this Lesson Unit.
AVAILABLE MODEL LESSON PLANS
The lesson plan(s) have been written with specific standards in mind. Each model lesson plan is only a MODEL - one way the lesson could be developed. We have NOT included any references to the timing associated with delivering this model. Each teacher will need to make decisions related ot the timing of the lesson plan based on the learning needs of students in the class. The model lesson plans are designed to generate evidence of student understanding.
This chart indicates one or more lesson plans which have been developed for this unit. Lesson plans are being written and posted on the Curriculum Management System as they are completed. Please check back periodically for additional postings.
Composing Numbers to 10 in a Variety of Ways
CCSC Alignment: K.OA.A.2
Students use two-color counters to build different combinations for the same number and record the combinations as number sentences.
AVAILABLE MODEL LESSON SEEDS
The lesson seed(s) have been written with specific standards in mind. These suggested activity/activities are not intended to be prescriptive, exhaustive, or sequential; they simply demonstrate how specific content can be used to help students learn the skills described in the standards. Seeds are designed to give teachers ideas for developing their own activities in order to generate evidence of student understanding.

Which Operation to Use
CCSC Alignnment: K.OA.A.1
Students listen to word problems and then decide which operation to use when solving it.
Using a Part-Part-Total Mat
Students use the Part-Part-Total mat and counters to act out the different part of the story in Rooster’s Off to See the World.
Solving Problems
CCSC Alignnment: K.OA.A.2
Students use white board, markers, counters, and/or Part-Part-Total Mats to solve problems independently.
Decomposing Numbers to 10
CCSC Alignnment: K.OA.A.3
Students use a Ziploc bag and buttons to model decomposing a number into two parts.
Using a balance scale to create an equation
Students use colored bears and a balance scale to model different word problems and solve them.
Bean Bags or Number Cubes and the Number Line
CCSC Alignnment: K.OA.A.4
Students use bean bags or number cubes and the number line to model different combinations for ten.
Build Ten with Connecting Cubes
Students use connecting cubes to build shapes that use 10 cubes.
Towers of Ten
Students play a game in which one student breaks a tower of ten connecting cubes into two parts, showing only one part to his partner. The partner tells how many cubes are in the hidden part.
Ten Frame Card Game
Students match two Ten Frame Cards that equal ten.
Missing Ten Frame
The teacher shows a Ten Frame that shows a number between 0 and 10. The students all hold up the ten frame that shows the number needed to make ten.
