Thinking About Numbers from Eleven to Twenty

Unit Plan

Thinking About Numbers from Eleven to Twenty

Objectives

In this unit, students will focus on the numbers 11–20. Students will:

  • know number names for 11–20.
  • write and recite number sequences within 11–20.
  • count using one-to-one correspondence within 20.
  • compare numbers and quantities within 20.
  • compose and decompose numbers within 20.

Essential Questions

How can mathematics support effective communication?
How can patterns be used to describe relationships in mathematical situations?
How can recognizing repetition or regularity assist in solving problems more efficiently?
How is mathematics used to quantify, compare, represent, and model numbers?
What does it mean to estimate or analyze numerical quantities?
What makes a tool and/or strategy appropriate for a given task?
When is it is appropriate to estimate versus calculate?
  • How is mathematics used to quantify, compare, represent, and model numbers?

    1. Once students have completed #1, meet with individual students and have them:
    • Read the sequence aloud.
    • Show two numbers using base-ten blocks.
    • Write two numbers that you dictate side by side on a whiteboard.
    • Insert < or > between the two numbers.
    • Read the number sentence from left to right.
