The purpose of this activity is for students to highlight compositions and decompositions of numbers to 5. Students create a set of cards with dot images by coloring in dot arrangements and drawing their own arrangements of up to 5 dots. Students will use the cards they create in the next activity.

• “Pick your favorite dot image. Tell your partner why it is your favorite and what parts make up the total.”
• “In our next activity, you will share your dot images in a small group. What can you do to be a good group member and help everyone learn?”

The purpose of this activity is for students to identify more than one composition and decomposition of numbers to 5. Students use the cards that they created in the previous activity to play their own version of How Many Do You See? in small groups.

• “Work together to choose one dot image to share from your group. Choose a dot image that the members of the group saw in different ways.”
• Invite each group to share their dot image.

The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities that offer practice with number and shape concepts. Students choose from five centers introduced in previous units. Students can choose to work at any previously introduced stage of these centers:

• 5-Frames
• Roll and Add
• Bingo
• Geoblocks
• Find the Value of Expressions

Students will continue to choose from these centers in upcoming lessons. Keep the materials from each center organized to use each day.

• “What makes working in centers fun for you?”
