Common Core Standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.3: 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).

Targeted Needs of Student:

Decomposing 5, exploring possibilities of ways to make 5, representing addition through objects, introducing writing equations, could be used for other numbers as well

Goal:

Representing how to add numbers to create five using various manipulatives

Materials Needed:

1. Page protector
2. Manipulatives
3. Expo marker
4. Number sheet

Explanation/Summary:

Student will use these sheets during centers or individual work where they will use small manipulatives (ones that fit in boxes) to decompose a number. They will place the objects in the box and then add the amount of numbers up to be sure that it makes 5 or the number they are working on. Then they will write the equation underneath.
