Teaching and response guide
- Model the target skill: develop automaticity with single-digit addition sums up to 10. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
- Check readiness first: Count small sets reliably and understand addition as combining quantities.
- Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: Keep track of the starting quantity when counting on; counting the starting number as a new item gives an answer one too large.
Watch for: Keep track of the starting quantity when counting on; counting the starting number as a new item gives an answer one too large.
Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
