MODULE 2 Introduction to Place Value Through Addition and Subtraction Within 20
To introduce students to the take from ten strategy, Topic B opens with questions such as, “Mary has two plates of cookies, one with 10 and one with 2. At the party, 9 cookies were eaten from the plate with 10 cookies. How many cookies were left after the party?” 10 – 9 = 1 and 1 + 2 = 3. Students then reinterpret the story to see its solution can also be written as 12 – 9. Students relate counting on and subtraction as pictured above. Notice the model is identical, but the thinking is very different.S: To solve 12 – 9, I count on from 9 to 12, niiiine, 10, 11, 12, three counts. To solve 12 – 9, I make 12 into 10 and 2 and subtract 9 from ten. 1 + 2 = 3.

Unit 1: Light and Sound
❓ Weekly Essential Question(s) How can we change the motion of a toy car?
In science lessons this week, we have the opportunity to recognize the simple cause-and-effect relationships between force and motion. Students explore what happens when a toy car travels down ramps, move across different surfaces. We learn that if one side of the ramp is higher than the other side. the car will start moving. the higher the ramp is, the faster and farther the car will go. We also discovered that the rough surface will slow down the toy car's speed and will make the car move closer than a smooth surface.
