The purpose of this activity is for students to compose numbers 11–19 by adding to a full 10-frame. Starting with a full 10-frame highlights the structure of 10 ones and some more ones in numbers 11–19 and encourages students to count on from 10, which is highlighted in the Activity Synthesis (MP8).
Number Cards 0‒10 are provided as a blackline master. Students will continue to use these cards throughout the year. Consider copying the cards on cardstock or laminating them and keeping them organized in sets to be used repeatedly. In this lesson, only numbers 1‒9 should be provided to students.
Action and Expression: Develop Expression and Communication. Synthesis: Identify connections between the strategy of counting starting at 1 and counting on from 10. For example: “Since I know that this 10-frame is full I can start counting at 11. I do not need to count all the dots in the 10-frame again.”
