Today, Teddy continued to work on determining the unknown in addition equations using number lines to help find missing addends. Then, we reviewed the friends of ten using tens frames and counters to model the different ways. Finally, our lesson focused on adding in any order, and that the order of addends can change, but the sums stay the same. Teddy completed the lesson's practice problems and spiral review questions.

This morning, Libby began with the first fast facts check on adding 2, which will be continued on Monday. Then, we worked on the concept of adding zero, and we learned that adding zero to a number keeps the number's value the same. Libby completed problems from the lesson and the spiral review questions.

Today's lesson focused on how the make a ten strategy is used to find sums. Ten frames with counters were used to illustrate the various ways to make a sum of 10 with two addends. Then, we practiced breaking apart addends when adding to make a ten before adding the remaining amount.

Today, Remington completed a fast facts check on adding 2 before we continued to work on using strategies with addition facts. We quickly reviewed the doubles facts, doubles plus one, adding zero, and counting on by 1, 2, or 3. Remington also practiced using his number line as a tool to help him find the sums of problems. Finally, he finished with a lesson check and spiral review questions.

This morning, Teddy began with a fast facts check on adding 2, and he traced the numbers 1 through 20 while focusing on proper number formation. Then, we worked on the concept of adding zero, and that adding zero to a number keeps the number's value the same. Teddy completed problems from the lesson and the spiral review questions.

This morning, Libby completed the mid-chapter checkpoint to assess her understanding of the lessons so far on using pictures to add, model adding to, model putting together, and problem-solving. She did a great job answering the questions, needing only a little help with one problem. Then, we continued to practice using a bar model to help find the missing addends of word problems.

Remington worked on the math portion of the MAP growth assessment.

This morning, Libby and I applied addition concepts using a bar model to show and solve problems. Libby listened to addition word problems, circled the needed information, determined the question that needed to be answered, filled in a bar model, wrote number sentences, and solved problems. She was encouraged to listen carefully and use counting cubes or quick pictures for help.

This morning, Teddy completed a fast facts check on adding 2. Then, we worked on using tools to find missing addends using a part-part-whole bar model with sums to 20. Teddy practiced finding the missing addend of problems using the number line, counting cubes, and quick pictures. Together, we created stories to match the given problems.

Today, Remington spent time on the MAPS diagnostic test. Then, he answered questions from the daily review, and we started our lesson on using strategies to practice addition facts.
