Lesson Content
MAFS.1.OA.3.5: Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).
MAFS.1.OA.3.6: Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction
within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14);
decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 4 = 13 3 1 = 10 1 = 9); using the
relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 8 =
4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known
equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
MAFS.1.OA.1.1: Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems1 involving
situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns
in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown
number to represent the problem (1Students are not required to independently read the word
problems.)
Students will understand both the make ten and the counting on methods. They will also be able to
differentiate between which is more efficient in a given situation.
Given a word problem, students will be able to decide which of two methods to make ten is more efficient
in a given situation. They will also be able to recognize that this might not be the most efficient method
every time.

What Content Knowledge is

necessary for a teacher to teach
this material? The teacher will need to know how to do and demonstrate the make ten and the counting on methods.
They will also need to know which is more efficient in this setting and for the individual. They will need
to consider what efficiency means to them, and make sure to explain it in detail to the students.

What background knowledge is The students must have an idea of how to do both the make ten strategy and the counting on strategy.
necessary for a student to They have been working on these strategies for quite a while. I know that some of them have struggled
successfully meet these with the make ten strategy.
objectives?

How will you ensure students

have this previous knowledge?
Who are your learners?
What do you know about them?
What do you know about their
readiness for this content?

What misconceptions might

students have about this content?
Some students might not understand how to do one method or the other. They might not understand that
you dont just stop at ten. They also might not understand that this answer might differ from different
people.

will be helping to solve a problem, and stress that this question is our essential
question for math today.
Today we will be solving a problem together. I am going to pass out this
question, and I need you to glue it in your math journal. Wait to start, as I
want to go over the question with you.
Question (Can replace names with students names): Rebecca used the counting
on strategy to solve 7+8. Jessica used the make a ten strategy to solve 7+8. Who
used the more efficient strategy? Explain your thinking.

Students will glue question in their notebook. Make sure everyone has glue, if
not, grab some for them to borrow in one of the baskets behind the EEKK sign on
the bookshelf next to the carpet.
Teacher will get their own copy, project it on the board using the document
reader, or write it on the whiteboard if the technology doesnt work. They will
start by reading the problem to the class. Then, explain that we are going to
break down this problem and solve it using both strategies. Start talking about
efficiency, and what it might mean. Ask if the students have heard of it
before, and call on a few to see if they have. Explain that efficiency means
the fastest and easiest method for each individual, and that it might be
different for everyone. Tell students to keep this in their minds when using
both strategies, as we will be discussing this later.
Who has heard of efficiency? Efficiency means that we are looking for the
fastest and easiest solution for us, but it might not be the same for every
person. Remember fairness? Sometimes one method works better for one
person and a different one works better for someone else.
Start with the counting on strategy. Ask students if they remember what this
strategy is. Call on some students to share what it is, and have the students
draw out the strategy first in their notebooks, doing it on yours as well.
Then, go over the make a ten theory in the same manner. (Make two tens frames,
put eight counters in one and seven in the other, and then move two counters
from the seven over to the eights tens frame, making one complete one. Then,
rewrite the number sentence to say 10+5=15.) Ask the students which one they
think is more efficient. Have students write a sentence in their journals
explaining their thoughts and their reasons.
So, the question starts with the counting on strategy. Who remembers
what this strategy is? Could you explain for the class? The counting on
strategy has you put the biggest number in your head, and then keep
counting from there. We can also use counters for this. Today, I would like
you to draw the counters into your notebooks. Use the counting on strategy
first. (Do the same for the make a ten strategy.)

While students do this, walk around and assess their writings using a prepared
chart, jotting down symbols or notes as you see fit, gathering data on the
choices they are making and how theyre solving the problem, and
conference with them on their thinking. Pick a few to call up and show their
thinking to their students. Consider calling a student who might be struggling
with a method, so that they may have help from both the teacher and the
class with their thinking. Have students use accountable talk to agree/disagree
with their peer. Stress that different strategies will be more efficient to different
people and not every answer is the same.

If a student needs help and struggles with this concept, pull them for a small
group with their other teacher to get individualized help.

What will you do if a student struggles with the content?

If a student struggles with this concept, they will be pulled into a small group with Mrs. Ezell to receive
more one-on-one instruction.

What will you do if a student masters the content quickly?

Ask two other questions:

-When would you use the make a ten strategy? Why?
-Liz used the make a ten strategy to create the problem 10+5. What could have been the original problem?

Meeting your students needs as If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural backgrounds of your
people and as learners students?
Several students enjoy out of the box thinking and working their mental muscles.
