In this assessment task students will use manipulatives to solve two story problems with numbers from 11-19. They are encouraged to use a Ten Frame to solve the problem and are asked to write a number sentence for each problem. The teacher can ask students to explain their answer or take a picture as evidence of proficiency. An assessment sheet and rubric are provided.

This lesson is Day 2 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This game may be played with one or two people. It reviews fractions on a number line, adding fraction with like denominators, and equivalent fractions. For an extra challenge, you can even break up your moves across multiple tracks (e.g., if your card reads 1/2, you could move 1/4 and 2/8).

This lesson pairs a magazine article about the Edmund Fitzgerald shipwreck in 1975 with the Gordon Lightfoot song, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." After comparing and contrasting the elements of each text, students will choose a historical event and, using the song as a model, create a narrative poem about their chosen event. In addition, more contemporary songs and current events will also work for this activity.

In this lesson, students develop an understanding of decomposing numbers to add using arrow cards. Students will connect this strategy to the number line.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.This lesson calls for students to use a ten frame to represent ten ones. Students will demonstrate and verbalize that ten objects is the same as “ten”. They will model teen numbers as ten ones and some extra ones, and demonstrate an understanding that one manipulative goes in each square of the ten frame (builds on one to one understanding).Remix this lesson to share extension ideas or student work-samples.

In this lesson, students develop spatial sense by composing shapes to match their teacher's representation.

Having spatial sense means having a feel for the geometric aspects in the environment and how the different shapes can be combined to form different figures. Students do not "grow" this spatial reasoning without having rich experiences that involve shapes and spatial relationships.

This packet contains exit tickets for the Kindergarten, Cluster 4 geometry standards. Exit tickets are written responses to questions posed at the end of a lesson. They are brief assessments which allow the teacher to determine student understanding of the concepts and skills taught that day. At the Kindergarten level, a blank copy of the exit ticket should be displayed on the board and read aloud to students. As teacher reads, students work independently on their own copy of the exit ticket.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.This is a set of two tasks, which may be used for instruction or assessment.  Each file contains a separate task and rubric.  Remix this resource to include extension ideas or addtional tasks, or samples of student-work.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.  This tasks may be used for instruction or assessment.  The file contains a student shape cutouts for students to compose shapes to make a new composite shape.  The new, composite shape does not need to have a given name (e.g., trapezoide or square).Remix this leson to include student work samples or extension ideas.

Students are asked to use a set of pattern blocks to compose given shapes. This task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. This file contains sample anchor charts to create with students. Anchor charts are to be made with students, then displayed as a classroom reference. Parents may also benefit from seeing anchor charts, as they provide a snapshot into the math class.Remix this resource to include pictures of your own anchor charts.

In this task, students apply their place value understanding to compose and decompose 2-digit numbers. A scoring rubric is included. The task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. In this lesson, students will compose a teen number into ten ones and some extra ones.  They will work to identify and record how many ones are on the ten frame, off the ten frame, and the total. Remix this lesson to include extension ideas or student work samples.

This task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes. Students are asked to place a set of chips on a 10 frame, and state how many more are needed to make ten.

An extension would be to repeat this task without the use of the ten frame. Let's hear your extension ideas for this task. Remix this resource, and share your ideas!

This lesson calls for students to compose congruent hexagons using smaller pattern block pieces. They will explain which arrangements of pattern block pieces compose a congruent hexagon, and count the number of smaller pieces that compose the "bigger" shape.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.Students will identify and record mystery numbers with partners.  They will organize quantities of objects into ten ones and some extra ones, developing an understanding of how ten ones and some extra ones can be combined to make a total.  Further, students will tell how two quantities are the same and different (example: One group of seventeen ones verses a group of ten ones in a ten frame and seven ones on the outside of the frame.)

In this lesson, students are introduced to Number Talks involving dot cards. Students develop efficient strategies for finding "how many" dots are on each card. Strategies relate to first grade addition concepts.
