Notes on Assessment:
Assessment: Modified Unit 4
Students will be using quick pictures, open number lines, and hundred charts to complete this assessment.
See common performance task link below. Students will need to have exposure in this unit with explaining how they used open number lines. Administer after the 2nd GCG.
Unpacking the Standards for this Unit:
The focus of this unit is modeling addition and subtraction with and without regrouping. Connections to standard algorithms are not the focus of this unit of study. “Second grade students add a string of two-digit numbers (up to four numbers) by applying place value strategies and properties of operations.” These strategies include: place value strategies, decomposing into tens, commutative property, associative property and think addition. “There are various strategies that second grade students understand and use when adding and subtracting within 100 (such as those listed in the standard). Students use multiple strategies for addition and subtraction in Grades K-3.” Because of this our focus is on developing fluency of addition and subtraction within 100 using these strategies. (For more information read p. 18-23)
Common Performance Task with Rubric for this Unit:
School Garden -Students will apply their understanding of place value strategies and open number lines to solve problems and explain which strategy is most efficient for them.

Future learning:
By developing a sound understanding of the strategies listed above, students will be able to make connections to the standard algorithms in future units of study. “By the end of third grade students use a range of algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or relationships between addition and subtraction to fluently add and subtract within 1000. Students are expected to fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm by the end of grade 4.” For more info click here.

Sample HOT Questions: Use these to facilitate student discussions. (SMP 1, 3)
  • Based on the numbers in this problem, what do you estimate the sum/difference to be?
  • How do your base-ten blocks represent what’s happening in the problem?
  • What does your collection of base-ten blocks represent in the problem? (e.g. Students may say 27 giraffes.)
  • What does the rod represent in this word problem?
  • What happens if I add or take away a tens rod to one of the addends? How will your sum change?
  • How would you use subtraction/addition to check your work?
  • When regrouping ask, “is 7 tens and 11 ones the same as 8 tens and 1 one?” Justify your thinking.
  • How do you know when you need to regroup?
  • Explain how you regroup when adding or subtracting?

Our students are better able to…
