math
Model 1 Sums and differences to 10
In Topic E, in the context of addition to 10, students expand their knowledge of two basic ideas of mathematics: equality and the commutativity of addition. The lesson on the equal sign precedes the lessons on commutativity in order to allow students to later construct true number sentences such as 4 + 3 = 3 + 4 without misunderstanding the equal sign to mean that the numbers are the same. Students apply their new generalization about the position of the addends to count on from the larger number. For example, “I can count on 2 from 7 when I solve 2 + 7.”

Unit 1: Light and Sound
❓ Weekly Essential Question(s): How Does Light Help Me See Things and Communicate with Others?
We go on a light hunt around our school and watch a video to look for the type of light sources used, places that certain materials are used to block light, places that certain materials are used to let light through, and interesting shadows we notice. We analyze the data we collect from our hunt and notice a new pattern that light can be used to send messages. We present our discovery this Friday to share with our friends that how people are using lights to communicate information.
