What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students build each teen number as one group of ten ones and some additional ones. They take teen numbers apart into 10 and a number from 1 through 9.

What Mastery Looks Like

Given 17 counters, a student makes a group of 10 and leaves 7 ones. The student can draw the groups and write 17 = 10 + 7.

Common Misconceptions

Students may read 14 as 1 and 4 without connecting the 1 to ten ones. They may count a bundled ten as one object and report five for one ten and four ones.

How to Assess It

Give the student 16 counters and ask for a group of 10 with the leftovers shown separately. Then ask for a drawing and an equation that match.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Fill one ten-frame, place extra counters on a second frame, and name the teen number built.

  2. Ask, "Why does 10 plus 4 make 14 rather than 104?"

  3. Play a teen-number race where partners draw a card, bundle ten craft sticks, and add the correct number of loose sticks.

  4. Pack ten crayons in one box and place extra crayons beside it to model a store's boxes and singles.
