Encuentra mentalmente el valor de cada expresión.
The purpose of this activity is for students to make sense of and solve a new type of story problem—Take From, Start Unknown, using the Three Reads routine. As students discuss, represent, and solve the problem, they see that even though the actions in the story problem can be represented with subtraction, they solve it using addition. The Three Reads routine encourages students to make sense of the quantities in the story and their relationship before mapping out a strategy to solve the problem (MP2).
This activity uses MLR6 Three Reads. Advances: Reading, Listening, Representing.
MLR6 Three Reads
Elena tiene una bolsa de chaquiras.
Ella saca 9 chaquiras.
Quedan 11 chaquiras en la bolsa.
¿Cuántas chaquiras había en la bolsa al comienzo?
Resuelve el problema-historia.
Muestra cómo pensaste. Usa dibujos, números o palabras.
“¿En qué se parecen estos métodos?” // “How are these methods the same?” (They all added 11 and 9.)
The purpose of this activity is for students to make sense of Take From story problems with unknowns in different positions. Students analyze one drawing and describe how it matches each story problem (MP2). As students describe how the drawing matches each problem, the teacher labels the drawing and includes a question mark for the unknown in the story. This allows students to see that although the same drawing represents three different problems, the unknown value is not in the same place in the drawing. They understand that the drawing is used differently to solve each problem.
Discute con tu compañero la manera en que el dibujo muestra cada problema.

Elena has a bag of beads.
She takes out 9 beads.

“Hoy resolvimos problemas de quitar y vimos que un dibujo puede representar diferentes historias. Hagan un dibujo que corresponda a esta historia” // “Today we solved Take From problems and saw that one drawing could represent different stories. Make a drawing to match this story.”
Invite students to share their drawings and explain how they match the story.
