Lesson 8
Groups Up to 110
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is to measure length and count and read numbers to 110.
Lesson Narrative
In previous units, students counted quantities and read and wrote numbers up to 99. In previous lessons, students measured the length of objects.
The purpose of this lesson is for students to count a quantity between 100 and 110. In the first activity, students measure how tall they are using base-ten cubes and represent their work in a way that makes sense to them. In the second activity, students make sense of representations of larger numbers. In the lesson synthesis, students learn that 10 tens is 100.

Teacher Reflection Questions
Reflect on times you observed students listening to one another’s ideas today in class. What norms would help each student better attend to their classmates' ideas in future lessons?
