"Cross It Out" | This lesson helps first grade students develop their 'counting on' and 'counting back' strategies. It also lays a strong foundation for working with the base ten system. Teach your students how to play the game "Cross It Out" where they will be able to pick any number on a 120 chart that is greater than 11 and less than 110, and then count on 1 more and 10 more than their number and 1 less and 10 less than their number. Once your students have mastered counting on and counting back and know how to skip count by tens you can introduce this game. |
Adding and Subtracting Ten Challenge | Students will learn to identify the number that is ten more or ten less than any given two-digit number by playing a game. |
Adding & Subtracting Ten from Multiples of 10 | In this lesson, students will play a game involving adding ten to, and subtracting ten from, multiples of ten. In the follow-up lesson, Adding and Subtracting Ten Challenge (Resource ID#: 45832), students will use the foundation gained in this lesson to find ten more and ten less than any given two-digit number. |
Let's Have Fun With Ten More and Ten Less | In this lesson, students will find ten more and ten less than any given two-digit number on a hundreds chart. They will learn about and identify the patterns that evolve when this task is performed. Then students will mentally find and write ten more and ten less independently. |
Ten-Hut! Part-2 (Subtraction) | This fun, kinesthetic lesson allows students to gain insight into how to use place value when subtracting a one-digit number from a two-digit number. The focus is on students using their bodies, as well as math manipulatives, to solve subtraction problems within 100 that do not require regrouping. |
Mentally Adding and Subtracting Ten | Students will learn strategies to identify ten more and ten less than a given two-digit number. The lesson begins concretely using base-ten blocks, then to the representational using a hundred chart. Ultimately, the lesson moves to the abstract level where students mentally identify ten more and ten less than a given two-digit number. |
