They have access to all the manipulatives, but are encouraged to board
write/draw their answer on a piece of paper.

 You have 9 pieces of Lego. A friend gives you 23 more pieces

for your birthday. How many pieces do you have altogether?

Discuss what the problem is asking us to do (addition). Give students

a second to think about how they might solve the problem. Have
students pair up to begin working.

10 Consolidation All of the student solutions will be sorted and named on the board
(counting up, counting down, splitting, number lines etc.). Discuss
which methods are the most efficient.
*It is unlikely that students will use a number line method, so
teacher will prepare a solution in advance that can be discussed
with the class.

Encourage them to consult the methods posted on the board. Have
them show their answer in at least 2 different ways.
