Ways to Make Different Shapes
Warm up with a Mystery Math Mistake to tell whether Dotson's 10-frames represent a number less than his focus number. Tell Which One Doesn't Belong by examining four sets of pattern blocks. Use pattern blocks to make different shapes.

Create Groups with Same, Fewer, and More
Use the 10-frame to increase your number sense. Play fun games called "Deck o' Dot Duel 10-frame" and "Same, Less, More." Engage in a Number Talk to find "how many" and to answer a secret question.

More or Fewer
Figure out if there are enough. Engage in a Number Talk to find "how many" and to answer a secret question. Play a fun "4 in a row" game with numbers and arrangements.

1 More 1 Less
Count animals to tell if Dotson made a Mystery Math Mistake when representing the number of animals using a 10-frame and writing the number to tell “how many.” Create number towers with “1 more” and “1 less.” Math Mights was adapted from IM K-5 Math™ ©2021 by Illustrative Mathematics®, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY […]
