Examples
Example: The sum 41+23 can be found by using a number line and “jumping up” by two tens and then by three ones to “land” at 64.Example: The difference 87-25 can be found by subtracting 20 from 80 to get 60 and then 5 from 7 to get 2. Then add 60 and 2 to obtain 62.

STEM Lessons - Model Eliciting Activity
Students will determine which pizza place should be used to cater parties at the Birthday Parties 'R' Us facility given a set of data. They will create a procedure for determining the best pizza place, write an explanation about their procedure, and present their recommendations to the class.
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.
Written at a second grade level, in this MEA the students will use problem solving skills, two-digit addition, and knowledge of greater than and less than to rank order carnival games based on provided criteria.

This MEA asks students to decide which factors are important in choosing the best cookie in a cookie contest. Students will take on the role of cookie critics to provide feedback to a teacher whose grade level is deciding which cookie to use for a fundraiser. They will rank order their choices from the best to worst cookie. Students will provide a detailed written explanation for how they decided to rank factors and their solution. They will show their work while adding up to 4 two-digit numbers to calculate the total number of votes.

This Model-Eliciting Activity (MEA) is designed for a second grade level. Students will be working in small groups to figure out what companies to hire for the art gallery to have a successful charity event. The students will be evaluating criteria such as bands for the event, caterers, and artists. Students will need to add money to stay within a budget. They will write their procedure for making their selections.
