Encontremos todas las maneras (optional)

Warm-up: Conteo grupal: Contemos hacia adelante (10 minutes)

Narrative

The purpose of this warm-up is to count on from a given number. As students count, point to the numbers posted so that students can follow along.

Launch

  • “Contemos hasta 60” // “Let’s count to 60.”
  • Count to 60.

Activity

  • “Ahora empiecen en el número 9 y cuenten hasta 20” // “Now, start at the number 9 and count to 20.”
  • Count on from 9 to 20.

Activity Synthesis

  • “¿Cómo supieron qué número decir después de 9?” // “How did you know what number to say after 9?”
  • “Podemos contar empezando en números diferentes a 1. Cuando contamos desde cualquier número hacia adelante, pensamos en qué número le sigue en la secuencia de conteo” // “We can start counting at numbers other than 1. When we count on, we think about what number comes next when we count.”

Activity 1: Patrones en descomposiciones (10 minutes)

Narrative

The purpose of this activity is to look for patterns in decompositions. The decompositions in the activity are presented in a way to encourage students to look for patterns, such as one addend getting larger while the other gets smaller, and use this information to determine if there are other possible decompositions. When students look for patterns, they look for and make use of structure (MP7). When they write expressions to represent diagrams they reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP2).

MLR8 Discussion Supports. Invite students to begin partner interactions by repeating the question, “¿Qué patrón observan?” // “What pattern do you notice?” This gives both students an opportunity to produce language.
Advances: Conversing

Required Materials

Materials to Gather

Launch

Escriban una expresión para representar las 2 partes en las que separaron la torre cada vez” // “Andre and Priya snapped a tower with 8 cubes. They used 2 different colors to show how they broke their tower each time. Write an expression to represent the 2 parts that they snapped each tower into.”
  • 2 minutes: partner work time
  • “Estudien los cubos y las expresiones. ¿Qué patrones observan?” // “Look at the cubes and the expressions. What patterns do you notice?” (There are more yellow each time. There is 1 more yellow and 1 fewer blue each time. The first number in the expression is getting bigger)
