Sub-goal A: Form 10s and count by 10s
Developing knowledge of 10 as a unit and working with units of 10 is fundamental to operating in our base-10 system of numeration. Initial learning includes developing fluency with verbal sequences by 10 on the decuple (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40, ...) and off the decuple (e.g., 4, 14, 24, 34, ...), both forwards and backwards. The instructional resources involve using individual items to form groups of 10 and connecting the verbal sequences by 10 to quantity, counting collections of 10s and incrementing or decrementing a collection by units of 10, on and off the decuple.

How Did We Get Here?
Activity 5-A-L-6Purpose: Recognize patterns when incrementing and decrementing by 10, both on and off the decuple
Description: Students generalize number patterns and relationships when counting by one or more units of 10.
Small Group
Instructional Activities
Numeral Tracks
Activity 5-A-S-1Purpose: Gain facility with forward and backward sequences for multiples of 10, on and off the decuple
Description: Students use numeral tracks to rehearse forward and backward number word sequences for 10s, on and off the decuple.
Making and Counting 10s
Activity 5-A-S-2Purpose: Develop facility forming groups of 10 and incrementing by 10s
Description: Students engage in building 10s from a collection of snap cubes and using the 10s to count the collection.
How Many Sticks?
Activity 5-A-S-3Purpose: Develop and recognize collections as items grouped in units of 10
Description: Students will count a collection of sticks by bundling them into groups of 10.
Making Numbers
Activity 5-A-S-4Purpose: Explore making increments and decrements of units of 10
Description: Students use arrow cards and bundling sticks to explore connections between the written form of numbers and a collection of items the numbers represent.
Numeral Roll
Activity 5-A-S-5Purpose: Gain facility with identifying 10 more or 10 less from a given number
Description: Students use a numeral roll to identify 10 more and 10 less than a given number.
Teacher Says
Activity 5-A-S-6Purpose: Develop flexibility incrementing and decrementing by 10s on and off the decuple
Description: Students make increments and decrements of 10s to determine the final number in a sequence without the support of a visual model.
Independent
Instructional Activities
