This is a teacher resource that shows activities for students to decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).

This kindergarten math unit contains 8 activities related to kindergarten appropriate number and operations; addition and subtraction.

In this activity, students will look at the part part whole models and determine the missing partner number by typing it in the given space or they will add circle dot shapes to represent a missing number. 

The purpose of this task is for students to select 2 numbers from a set of 3 that sum to 9. The task can be completed for sums equaling any number. Teachers may choose to ask students to write the simple equations they select.

The purpose of this task is for students to select 2 numbers from a set that sum to 5 (or any other number).

The Family Letter is intended to be sent home at the beginning of the cluster. It explains 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 Letter.

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 file contains a set of 17 problem solving tasks around decomposing numbers within 10 (where both addends are unknown). Each of the tasks has its own recording sheet, which may be copied for the students. Page 1 contains a general scoring rubric, and page 2 contains sample student work.

We'd love to see your student work samples! Please consider remixing this task to include work samples.

This resource is part of Tools4NCTeachers.This packet contains exit tickets for the Kindergarten, Cluster 5 Operations in Algebraic Thinking 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.In this lesson, students analyze a picture of animals in the barnyard. Students use the context to create both addends unknown combinations to make 10. They show their thinking and record their decompositions using objects, words or drawings.Please remix this lesson to share your ideas for other problems, extensions, related math stations, or samples of student work.

In this lesson, students "notice" and "wonder" as they look at a real world photograph. Then, they use a variety of representations to solve a problem related to the photo.

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to solve a
"put together, take apart" word problem by decomposing 8 in a variety of ways.
