Module 4 Lesson 8 

Approximate Time: ​60 minutes 

Standard(s): ​ 2.NBT.9- Explain why  Objectives: ​I can use math drawings to 
addition and subtraction strategies work,  represent the composition and relate 
using place value and the properties of  drawings to a written method. 
operations. 

Strategies:  Vocabulary:  
Vertical strategy  Make a ten 
Drawing a place value chart and discs  Bundle 10 ones 
Small group work  Regroup 
Partner work  Vertical form 
Using place value discs  Place value chart 

Misconceptions: ​Students may not understand how the place value chart is the same as 
vertical form/moving from pictorial to numerical may be difficult.

Reteaching & Intervention:  Extended Learning & Early Finishers: 

Pull a small group of students and go over  Have early finishers write about their 
the problem set using place value disks.   thought process/steps for solving the 
problem set questions.  

Accommodations: 
● (See “Groups” table) 
● For early finishers → Lesson 8 Problem Set Questions Worksheet 
○ When early finishers are done with the problem set ​and​ the problem set 
questions worksheet, let them work on ST math 
● Let Aribelle work independently with earphones (if she wants to use them) 
● Pull Jax, Abbey, Penelope, Eli, and Addison and work with them on problem set 
○ Use place value disks when working with them 
   
● Go through PowerPoint with students 
○ I can statement 
○ Application Problem 
■ Solve together as a class 
■ Give students opportunities to think-pair-share with their shoulder 
partner 
■ Give students think time before letting them answer 
○ Number Patterns 
■ Students use whiteboards 
■ Give students think time before letting them answer 
○ Vertical Strategy and Place Value Chart Practice 
■ Go through problems with students 
● I do, we do, you do 
■ Give opportunities for students to share with their partner, come up 
to the board, and share out to the class 
○ Find the mistake 
■ Have students work with their shoulder partner to find the mistake  
● Problem set 
○ Students are split up into groups (already assigned) 
○ One group works with teacher, other two groups work on problem set with 
a partner 
○ Explain groups and directions to students 
○ Display groups, partnerships, and directions on board so students can relate 
back to them 
● Small Group Work 
○ Work with Circle Group for 15-25 minutes.  
○ Briefly work on number patterns/finding the next possible sequence. 
(Example: 278, 268, 258…) 
■ Use place value disks if necessary. 
○ Work on the problem set using whiteboards and place value disks. (Don’t 
pass out the problem set.) 
○ Write the problem on a whiteboard and have students solve it using their 
place value discs and personal whiteboards.  
○ Go through the problem set one by one.  
■ Do problems d, e, and f with place value discs. Have students do 
problems a, b, and c independently by drawing the place value discs. 
● Exit Ticket 
○ At the end, bring students back together and have them do the Exit Ticket. 
○ Explain the Exit Ticket to them.
