The purpose of this activity is for students to complete equations to represent numbers 11–19. Students may know that 17 is 10 and 7 because of repeated practice in this unit. Students may need to use objects or drawings to represent each number and then fill in an equation. While there are many possible equations to represent each number, students have only composed and decomposed numbers 11–19 as 10 ones and some more ones throughout this unit, which makes 10 + _____ the most likely way for students to fill in the equations (MP8).
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions. Invite students to plan a strategy, including the tools they will use, for filling in the missing numbers. If time allows, invite students to share their plan with a partner before they begin.
