http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L102
A lesson plan for grades 1–2 Mathematics
In this lesson, the last of a five-part unit from Illuminations titled “Let’s Learn Those Facts,” students display their knowledge of properties of objects for sorting and creating patterns. They also demonstrate an understanding of commutativity and model addition and subtraction of whole numbers using different representations.

Grade 1
- Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, and model whole numbers through 99 and compute with whole numbers.
- Objective 1.03: Develop fluency with single-digit addition and corresponding differences using strategies such as modeling, composing and decomposing quantities, using doubles, and making tens.
- Objective 1.04: Create, model, and solve problems that use addition, subtraction, and fair shares (between two or three).
Grade 2
- Goal 1: Number and Operations - The learner will read, write, model, and compute with whole numbers through 999.
- Objective 1.03: Create, model, and solve problems that involve addition, subtraction, equal grouping, and division into halves, thirds, and fourths (record in fraction form).
- Objective 1.05: Create and solve problems using strategies such as modeling, composing and decomposing quantities, using doubles, and making tens and hundreds.
