In previous lessons, students saw numbers 11–19 as 10 ones and some more ones as they counted, composed, and represented these numbers. The purpose of this lesson is for students to use the understanding that a full 10-frame contains 10 ones to compose numbers 11–19. Using a 10-frame encourages students to count on from 10. While this lesson highlights counting on as a strategy, students need significant practice working with 10-frames before they are able to count on to determine the total with understanding. Students can complete the activities by counting all. Counting on to determine the total is not an expectation in kindergarten.
Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.
Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.Include groups with up to ten objects
Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
