Unit 8, Lesson 7
Create Number Books (Part 2)
Kindergarten
Preparation
Lesson Narrative
In a previous lesson, students explored number books and brainstormed important objects and features of their school community to include in a number book. In this lesson, students create, revise, and share their own number books about their school community. When students represent objects in their school with pictures and numbers, they reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP2).
If students need additional support with the concepts in this lesson, refer back to Unit 2, Section C in the curriculum materials.
