Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a
written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract.2 Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)

Summary: The book 12 Ways to
Get to 11, is a very interesting children’s book because it details the twelve
ways you can get to the number eleven. Each page on the books show the
different ways to get to 11 using different numbers. Most importantly the books
has a lot of visuals where students can count a long with the teacher.
Rating:
This book is very
interesting because it has a lot of engaging pictures. The visuals inside the
book clearly depict the different ways you can get to 11. Students can count
along and also relate to the pictures they see. This book is an excellent segway
for teaching associative and commutative property to first graders in an
engaging and meaningful way.
Classroom Ideas: This book is an excellent way to teach
mathematical concepts for addition. A great classroom idea is to give students cubes of two different colors and a t-chart, student will
write down at least 5 combinations of ways to make the number 11, creating an
addition sentence out of each.
Another great classroom idea is to give
students a piece of white paper, and coloring tools, each student will draw
their own way to get to the number 11, with the objects in their drawing adding
up to the number 11.
I can also distribute to students
foam number stickers and white paper, students will work in groups and each
student within each group will be responsible for creating different ways to
get to 11.
Hey Anabel,
ReplyDeleteThis book looks like a great tool for teaching early addition. The bright colors and use of familiar animals are engaging for students at this age. Introducing different ways to get to the same answer correlates with how there are many different ways to get to the same answer in math, and no one way is better than another. I liked your idea of the t-chart and manipulative to have students find their own ways to get to 11. I will definitely be using this book in the future.
Hey Anabel, I think this is a great book to further explain the multiple ways to get to the number 11. A teacher can also address to the students that the addends are interchangeable and will still add up to the same number 11. I appreciate your classroom ideas because their are visual and can really help kinesthetic learners.
ReplyDeleteHi Anabel,
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like a great book. I really like the idea of using foam numbers to create addition equations. Very helpful for students who are kinesthetic learners who are struggling forming their numbers in writing because they will have the opportunity to feel the numbers. This book will definitely have students thinking about other ways to make other numbers.
Hello Anabel-
ReplyDeleteThis blog is very informative. I enjoyed learning reading about this book and learning other Common Core standards
