    Skill: add 3 single digit numbers by making friendly numbers (example: 4 + 3 + 6)

    Unconsciously Incompetent: Tries to add one by one with blocks

    Consciously Incompetent: Adds 4 + 3 = 7, then 7 + 6 = 13… I know there was a way to add numbers more easily but I can’t remember how!

    Consciously Competent: student notices 4 + 6 = 10, then adds 3 to make 13

    Unconsciously Competent: student computes mentally without thinking about the way they are combining the numbers

    Consciously Masterful: able to do this automatically but is aware of the process and can explain flexible and creative ways to make friendly numbers
