Lesson 10
Día 2 de centros
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to practice measuring and adding within 100.
Lesson Narrative
Students learn a new center called Estimate and Measure, where they choose an object and a length unit to measure it with. They estimate the length of the object before measuring to find the actual length. Students then choose from previously introduced centers focusing on adding within 100.
