UNIT PREPARATION

Display the class number line (0–130) where students can see and reach it with a pointer.

Attach a desk number line (0–100) to each student's desk to use throughout the year.

Display the Math Practices page where all students can see it.

Have the following tools readily available for the Daily Practice and Problems items in this unit.

LESSON SESSIONS DESCRIPTION SUPPLIES

LESSON 1

Place Value with Larger Numbers

2 Students make connections between different representations of numbers through one thousand. They apply their knowledge of place value concepts to represent and compare multidigit numbers.
  • base-ten pieces
  • One Hundred Hungry Ants by Elinor J. Pinczes
  • card stock or heavy paper
  • glue or tape

LESSON 2

Estimating Sums

2 Students use their knowledge of place value to explore estimation of sums. They develop strategies for determining the reasonableness of a sum such as finding friendly numbers and adding hundreds.
  • base-ten pieces
  • chart paper

LESSON 3

Adding Multidigit Numbers

2–3 Students make connections among representations and a variety of mental math and paper-and-pencil strategies as they solve multidigit addition problems with sums through one thousand. They practice estimating sums, and using expanded form, all-partials, and the compact method.
  • base-ten pieces
  • chart paper

LESSON 4

Subtract with Mental Math

2 Students explore estimation of differences to one thousand. They develop strategies for solving multidigit subtraction problems and use estimation to check for reasonableness.
  • Shark Swimathon by Stuart J. Murphy
  • base-ten pieces
  • Estimation Strategies for Addition chart from Lesson 2
  • chart paper

LESSON 5

Subtracting Multidigit Numbers

3 Students make connections among representations and a variety of mental math and paper-and-pencil strategies including expanded form and the compact method as they solve multidigit subtraction problems. They practice estimating differences and checking their subtraction calculations with addition.
  • base-ten pieces
  • chart paper

LESSON 6

Workshop: Multidigit Addition and Subtraction

2–3 Students play new versions of games introduced earlier as they continue developing mental math and paper-and-pencil strategies for solving multidigit addition and subtraction problems.
  • base-ten pieces
  • envelopes
  • scissors
