Intentionality…

The purpose of the Day 2 activities is to reinforce key concepts from Day 1. Students will engage in a string of related problems through a math talk and will have an opportunity to complete independent purposeful practice. The math talk and purposeful practice serve to develop a deeper understanding of the following big ideas.

  • Part-whole relations: Relationships between addition & subtraction.
  • One-to-one correspondence.
  • One structure of subtraction is “removal”.

Math Talk
