More Super Duper Math
Students will gather objects to compare quantities and justify their answers pictorially and verbally. They will use their vocabulary posters and accountable talk menus to discuss with their partners.
Centers in Subtraction
Students will participate in multiple centers including a guided math center that reinforces subtraction concepts.
Going Beyond with Number Bonds
Students will use number bonds to compose and decompose numbers to 10.
The Shapes Around Us
Students will make connections between real-world objects and the attributes of two-dimensional shapes.

Balancing Act
Students use a pan balance model and manipulatives to identify a total that balances two parts. The use of the pan balance will help to develop the concept of equality. Students will develop the language of equality by reading and identifying the following expressions; balances, is the same as, is equal to, and equal before the symbol for equality is introduced. Students will identify an unknown part in a balance situation. Students will communicate ideas, explain, and justify how they solved problems.
