3. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Learning Intention and Success Criteria We are learning to… Recognize the role unknown addend situations and equations play in developing fluency with single-digit problems. Understand “decompose a number leading to a ten” and “think addition to subtract” and explore how to build that understanding in students. We will be successful when we... Understand how to use addition and subtraction word problems to support students’ ability to reason fluently.

5. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 “Fluency” in the CCSSM Revisit the discussion of fluency pp.18-19 OA Progression document (Starts with the last paragraph.) Table groups: Discuss and chart a group response to your designated prompt.

6. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Fluency Summarize what it means to be fluent and what kinds of thinking fluency involves for single digit addition and subtraction. What are the CCSSM expectations for fluency in your assigned grade and what are some examples of what students will be expected to demonstrate? How does this work on fluency link to the Standards for Mathematical Practice?

8. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Thinking about instruction… By the end of the K-2 grade span, students have sufficient experience with addition and subtraction to know single-digit sums from memory... this is not a matter of instilling facts divorced from their meanings, but rather as an outcome of a multi-year process that heavily involves the interplay of practice and reasoning. p. 19 OA Progressions document How might this statement impact classroom instruction around “single-digit addition and subtraction” at all levels?

9. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Progression toward Fluency – Subtraction Methods for solving single-digit subtraction Level 1: Direct Modeling or Taking Away Count, Count, Count Level 2: Counting on Think addition or find unknown addend Level 3: Convert to an Easier Problem Decompose a number leading to a 10

10. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Building Understanding Through Context How would a student at each level approach this problem? Note: For Level 3, be sure to examine both “Build up through ten” & “Back down through ten” There were 13 cookies on the plate. Sam ate 8 of the cookies on the plate. How many cookies are on the plate now?

11. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 – Place 15 counters on the double ten frame. – Completely fill one frame, place 5 on the other frame. Decompose to ten: 15 – 6

12. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 How can you remove 6 counters in parts by decomposing it in a way that gets you to or “leads to a ten”? Decompose to ten: 15 – 6 Tell a story for 15 – 6.

13. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 – Place 15 counters on the double ten frame. – Completely fill one frame, place 5 on the other frame. Decompose to ten: 15 – 6

14. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Decompose to ten: 15 – 6 Remove 5 counters to get to ten. Decompose 6 to remove it in parts.

15. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Decompose to ten: 15 – 6 Remove 5 counters to get to ten. Remove 1 more. 6 = 5 + 1

16. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Decompose to ten: 15 – 6 Decomposed 6 to remove 5 and then remove 1. 15 – 5 – 1 = 9 or 15 – 5 = 10 10 – 1 = 9 Write an equation(s).

17. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 – Use ten frames and counters to reason through the “Decompose to Ten” strategy. – Write an equation(s) to show the reasoning. – Share and discuss in your small group. Try it: 13 – 5 16 – 7 Brainstorm: What other subtraction facts would lend themselves well to this strategy? Make a list of facts and try them out.

19. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Unknown Addend Problems Read K.OA.2, K.OA.4, 1.OA.1, 1.OA.4, 2.OA.1 1.Highlight essential ideas in each. 2.Discuss the progression from Kindergarten to grade 2 in developing the idea of an unknown addend.

20. Common Core Leadership in Mathematics Project, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Summer Institute 2012 Food for thought…. Learning to think of and solve subtractions as unknown addend problems makes subtraction as easy as addition (or even easier), and it emphasizes the relationship between addition and subtraction. – K-5 OA Progressions document, p. 15
