Model 1 Sums and differences to 10
Like Topic E, Topic F leads students to make more generalizations that support their deepening understanding of addition within 10. They learn to recognize doubles and doubles plus 1. They analyze the addition chart for repeated reasoning and structures (such as 5-groups, plus ones, doubles, sums equal to 10, etc.) that can help them to better understand relationships and connections between different addition facts.

Unit 1: Light and Sound
❓ Weekly Essential Question(s): How can we use light to communicate without making any noise?
We brainstorm places where it would be helpful to be able to communicate using light. we talked about possible messages that people might need to send in that place. We chose to use light to communicate with others when they are "too loud" or the volume is " just fine." We worked in groups and designed a device that could help to communicate only using lights. We test our equipment and record the strengths and weaknesses of the equipment.
