About the Mathematics in This Unit

Benchmarks/Goals Examples
Subtract multiples of 10 from multiples of 10 up to 90.

Build 50.

Remove 20.

How many now?

A blank number sentence with handwritten numbers on the blanks reads: 50–20=30.

Use greater than and less than symbols to compare two 2-digit numbers. Two groups of cube towers with comparison symbols. d
Add/subtract 10 to/from any 2-digit number.

37 + 10 = 47

42 − 10 = 32

A handwritten number sentence reads: 37+10=47. A handwritten number sentence reads: 42–10=32. A boy thinks: “What’s 10 more than 37? 47!”

Use models to add numbers with totals under 100. Two groups of cube towers with handwritten number sentences below each group and a pair of number cards above each group. d

As we engage in the mathematics of this unit, students will continue to share their reasoning and solutions. As they work on problems at home, continue to ask questions that encourage your child to extend his or her thinking and explain his or her reasoning.
