Show Me All the Ways
Grade 1

Lesson Narrative
Students represent a two-digit number in as many ways as they can. They are encouraged to think about representations of their number that have different amounts of tens. Then they do a Gallery Walk to compare representations their classmates made.
If students need additional support with the concepts in this lesson, refer back to Unit 4, Section D in the curriculum materials.
