Description

This teaching guide focuses on the Break-Apart Strategy for two-digit addition, utilizing place value disks to help students decompose numbers effectively. The resource is structured into two sessions, each lasting 30 minutes. The first session introduces students to place value disks, where they learn to build numbers and discuss their components. Through various examples, students practice breaking down two-digit numbers into tens and ones, particularly focusing on scenarios requiring regrouping. The second session emphasizes mental math and encourages students to apply the break-apart strategy independently, enhancing their addition skills further. The guide includes various interactive teaching techniques, such as Think-Pair-Share and anchor chart creation to reinforce learning. Additionally, it provides observational assessment suggestions for teachers to gauge student understanding during activities.
