Lesson 17
Center Day 3 (optional)
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to count large groups of objects by creating smaller groups of 5 or 10. Students practice adding within 50 or representing data with graphs.
Lesson Narrative
This lesson is optional because it is an opportunity for extra practice that not all classes may need. In Activity 1, students revisit stage 3 of the Counting Collections, which was first introduced in Kindergarten. In this stage, called Estimate and Count Up to 120, students count collections of up to 120 objects and represent how they counted. In Activity 2, students choose between two previously introduced centers focused on adding and subtracting within 50 or representing data with graphs.
