Lesson 10

Complete Equations

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to represent numbers 11–19 with equations.

Lesson Narrative

In previous lessons students composed and decomposed numbers 11–19 with 10 ones and some more ones. They saw numbers 11–19 represented with written numbers, phrases such as “10 and 2,” expressions, and equations. In this lesson, students interpret equations and fill in the missing numbers to complete equations for numbers 11–19 (MP2).
