What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students show how they add two groups with counters, drawings, or an equation. They explain how each step combines the groups without losing or adding any objects.

What Mastery Looks Like

For 8 + 5, a student can take 2 from the group of 5 to make 10, then add the remaining 3 to get 13. They can show where the 2 and 3 came from in their drawing.

Common Misconceptions

Some students take 2 from the 5 to make 10, then add all 5 again. Others say they made 10 but cannot show which group the extra counters came from.

How to Assess It

Ask students to show 9 + 4 with a ten-frame or drawing. Have them write an equation and explain where the 1 and 3 came from.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs 8 red and 5 blue counters; have them fill a ten-frame and explain why 3 counters remain.

  2. Ask, 'Why does 8 + 2 + 3 show the same total as 8 + 5?' Have partners explain with a drawing.

  3. Play Make Ten Match: students draw two number cards, build the sum with counters, and explain how they combined the groups.

  4. Put 8 pencils in one cup and 5 in another; ask students to find the total and show each pencil in their equation.
