Lesson 13

Center Day 2 (optional)

Warm-up: True or False: Two or False (10 minutes)

Narrative

The purpose of this True or False is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding with multiples of 2 and 2 equal addends. These understandings help students deepen their understanding of the properties of operations, fluency within 20, and will be helpful practice as students develop foundations for multiplication.

Launch

  • Display one statement.
  • “Give me a signal when you know whether the statement is true and can explain how you know.”
  • 1 minute: quiet think time

Activity

  • Share and record answers and strategy.
  • Repeat with each statement.

Student Facing

Decide if each statement is true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.

  • \(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 4 + 4\)
  • \(2 + 2 + 2 = 3 + 3\)
  • \(2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 5 + 5\)
