The Family Letters are intended to be sent home at the beginning and middle of the cluster. They explain big ideas of the cluster using family-friendly language. Families can also find tips for working with their children at home, digital games, videos, and books. This file contains both English and Spanish versions of the Family Letters.

The intended purpose of this document is to provide teachers with a tool to determine student understanding and suggest instructional moves that may help guide a student forward in their learning. It is not an exhaustive list of strategies.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students explore the associative properties as they solve word problems with three addends to develop the concept of representing and solving problems involving addition.  This lesson format may be used with any problem type appropriate for the grade.  This file includes the lesson, student work samples, student recording sheets, and exit tickets.  Remix this lesson to add extension ideas or addtional student work samples. 

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students will solve higher-level word problems involving three addends.  The rich problems allow for multiple solutions, so the focus will be on student thinking rather than correct answers.  Students will explore various strategies to solve and will be asked to attempt new strategies, including writing matching equations, once that has been modeled by others.   This resource includes a lesson plan, answer key, and printable exit ticket.  Remix this lesson to include extension activities of photos of student work samples.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. This file contains a set of 6 tasks (including scoring rubric and student recording sheet).  The tasks may be used for instruction or assessment.  Each focuses on problem solving involving the addition of 3 whole numbers within 20. Remix this resource to include student work samples or addtional tasks.

In this lesson, students solve a word problem using a strategy of choice and share the strategy to develop the concept of representing and solving problems involving addition and subtraction within 20. This lesson format may be used with any problem type appropriate for the grade.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students explore the commutative and associative properties of addition as they solve word problems with multiple solutions.  This lesson will help students learn to represent and solve problems with equations that have three addends. This file contains answer keys, student recording pages, and extension problems.

For this assessment, students use a scrabble-type board to come up with words and then compare point values of each word.

Students will be using various strategies to solve words problems using 3 addends.
