Practice

Using the 120 PosterStudent Leader 1 draws a new circle

Previous total 28: I am adding 1. So, 28 plus 1 is 29. Do I have a new 10

–no 29 = 20 + 9

Previous total 29 I am adding 1. So, 29 plus 1 is 30. I have a new 10, so I

am going to erase all of the circles on these 20s and mark the new 10 at the bottom 30 Just leave the number without an equation

The focus is on the answer, the decade number, and ones

5

120 Poster ContinuedCount to the New Total

Less than 50 Student Leader 1 leads the class and points to each

number to reach the new totalAfter 50 - Finger Flashes

Student Leader 1 moves the pointer down each column by tens and ones

Children do the finger flashes in unison 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 freeze 51, 52

Focus remains on the answer, decade numbers, and ones

6

Using the Money Flip ChartStudent Leader 2 removes 1 sticky note

representing the addition of 1 penny Previous total 28 pennies

I am adding 1 penny. Will I make a new 10 – no. 28 plus 1 is 29 Removing the sticky note and putting it in the rectangles at

the bottom of the Money Flip Chart We now have 9 ones so I’ll erase the 8 and write a 9

10 plus 10 plus 9 That’s 2 tens and 9 ones equals 29

The focus is on anchors of ten, ones, and the answerThe ten rectangles reinforces the anchor of 10

visually

7

Money Flip Chart ContinuedNew Ten

Previous total 29 pennies I am adding 1 penny. Will I make a new 10 – yes So I’ll write it below

Erase the 9 write a 10 10 plus 10 plus 10 equals 30 Removing the sticky note and putting it in the

rectangles at the bottom of the Money Flip ChartNext Day Student Leader 2

Flip over the next column of pennies and cover all the ten pennies with sticky notes with all children

Continue the routine – previous total 30 add 1

The focus is on anchors of ten, ones, and the answer

8

Money Flip Chart ContinuedNumbers over 100

The dollar bill cover is flipped to show dollar bills to the left of the coin strips 100 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 124

Giant Number CardsStudent Leader 3 shows the new total using

the cardsNew Total is 29

20 now show the 20 card. Plus 9 show the 9 card Class responds 20 plus 9 makes 29

New Total 30 30 now show the 30 card Class responds 3 tens make 30

Focus is on the abstract decade numbers and ones

Kindergarten focuses on the pictures and quantities of anchors of 10 and 5 (secret code cards are introduce in first grade to go beyond these quantities)

Quick PracticeUnit 1 Number Parade Show Fingers Giant Number Cards Creative Movements and Sounds (animals) The 5-Group Pattern for 6-10 Connect the 5-Group pattern to Fingers Seeing and Hearing the 5-Group Pattern Saying and Showing the 5-Group PatternUnit 2 Automatic Fingers Groups of 5 in Numbers 6-10 Movements and Sounds Using Groups of 5 (Marching Band) Just Before and Just After Count for 10 Through 20 Using Finger Freeze Say Numbers 11 Through 20 in Order

Unit TestThe teaching is much more robust than the

assessment.Please don’t skip activities and instruction

just because they aren’t tested. Children need to be exposed to these concepts

frequently and over a long period of time before they truly begin to internalize them.

This internalization is the foundation for better understanding teen numbers and the addition and subtraction of single digit numbers.
