The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit the strategies and understandings that students have for adding three 1-digit numbers within 20. When students look for ways to decompose addends to make a ten with another addend, and add the remaining addends to find the sum, they look for and make use of the structure of numbers and properties of operations (MP7).

1.G.A.2
Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.Students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”
The purpose of this activity is for students to revisit Stage 2 of the Match Mine center introduced in kindergarten. Students put solid shapes together to make a larger object, without letting their partner see. They then describe the object to their partner, who tries to match it. In order to make matching objects, each partner needs a matching set of solid shapes.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group matching sets of solid shapes and something to hide their work, like a folder.
“Vamos a aprender una nueva forma de jugar ‘Haz una como la mía’, que es un centro que conocieron en kínder. Juguemos una ronda juntos. Todos pueden ser mi pareja” // “We are going to learn a new way to play Match Mine, which is a center that was introduced in kindergarten. Let’s play one round together. You all can be my partner.”
Without showing students, put four shapes together to make an object.
“Una persona empieza juntando 4 figuras para construir algo nuevo. Esconde su objeto para que su pareja no pueda verlo. Después, le describe su objeto a su pareja, que trata de hacer el mismo objeto. Yo voy a describir mi objeto y ustedes pueden tratar de hacer uno como el mío” // “One person starts by putting 4 shapes together to build something new. They hide their object so their partner can’t see it. Then they describe their object to their partner, who tries to match it. I will describe my object and you can try to match it.”
Describe your object and allow students to try to match it with the shapes.
Discuss what you said that helped students match the object, and what you said that might not have helped.

“¿Qué hizo o qué dijo su pareja para que fuera más fácil hacer un objeto igual al de ellos?” // “What did your partner do or say to make it easier to match their object?” (My partner used only 4 blocks, so it was easy to match their object. My partner told me when to put a block on top of another block, or next to it.)
The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities that offer practice adding and subtracting or working with shapes. Students choose from previously introduced stages of these centers:
Picture Books
How Are They the Same?
Capture Squares

1.OA.C.6
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., ); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., ); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that , one knows ); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding by creating the known equivalent ).
