Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

STEM Lessons - Model Eliciting Activity
Children are challenged to create hurricane kits from a list of $5 supplies and a fixed budget. In a twist, students are asked to revise their kits to account for diverse families including families with young children, families with elderly adults, and families with pets. They are given an increased budget and a checklist for each type of kit. The expectation is that students can determine which supplies would be useful in an emergency hurricane kit and that they can skip-count by 5’s to make sure they stay within their budgets.
Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.

This interactive Flash applet helps children learn grouping, tally marks, place value, addition, and subtraction. Students help the alien spaceship move cows into corrals by counting by 5s and 10s. They also can apply those grouping skills to practice adding and subtracting two-digit numbers with regrouping. Audio cues and prompts reinforce the user's actions and facilitate counting and the development of math language.
