Today, we worked on counting, reading, and writing 16 and 17 with a focus on the number 17. Libby used base ten cubes to model 17 with one tens stick and 7 ones and colored in pictures of base ten blocks, tens frames, and objects to model 17. Then, Libby completed equations to make teen numbers using connecting cubes to model each problem. Finally, we used objects to model adding and subtracting within 5.
