Lesson 13

The purpose of this True or False is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding with multiples of 2 and 2 equal addends. These understandings help students deepen their understanding of the properties of operations, fluency within 20, and will be helpful practice as students develop foundations for multiplication.

• “Choose what you would like to do next.”
• 15–20 minutes: center work time
• If time allows, have students choose a third center to work on.

• Invite 2-3 students to share their favorite method for adding and subtracting within 1,000.
