What do you want your students to remember about you?
In your curriculum - Get Concrete to spend less time teaching the abstract!

Unit 4: Number to 10 (Part 2)
Students need to know how to compose and then decompose a number to 10.
Almost all of our activities are C - concrete!
- C- Unifix cubes, rekenreks, singapore number bracelets, 5 and ten frames with cubes and counters, double sided counters, andmore!
- P- make sure to expose students to ten frame pictorial models, and other dot patterns
- A - reading and writing the numbers, number bonds
I will send you my favorite stations! These should be mini lessons, and then can be practiced in small groups if needed and then into a station for practice with the numbers to ten.
First Grade
This Unit should compliment what students learned in their Place Value to 30 Unit. Capatalize on these strategies!
- C - Unifix cubes in groups of tens and ones, Double ten frames (with cubes or counters) to show the tens and ones, Part, Part Whole with cubes - Encourage students to make tens when they are adding (with cubes) and subtracting
- R - Picture models of ten frames used to practice addition and subtraction, open number lines to add and open number lines to subtract
- A - equations, show them some equations with the sum or difference on the left
Unit 5: Addition and Subtraction to 20 with problem solving
Apply the strategies they have learned! Use the strategies above to practice solving word problems.
Second Grade
This unit is a great time to connect place value while using operations. Some key instructional strategies to cover are:
- C- Unifix cubes to base ten models
- R- Base ten pictorial models, part/part/whole, open number lines for addition, open number lines for subtraction
- A - Tens and ones mats, algorithm (stacking)
Unit 4 - Addition and Subtraction with regrouping - Practice the above strategies with one more layer of complexity.
