Standards & Learning Goals

Learning Goals

By the end of this project, students will be able to:

Students will be able to decompose numbers up to 10 in multiple ways.
Students will be able to represent number bonds using pictures and words.
Students will be able to create a storybook that illustrates different number bonds to 10.
Students will be able to explain why understanding number bonds is important in mathematics.

Common Core Standards

k.oa.3.a

Primary

Decompose numbers up to 10 in multiple waysReason: Directly addresses the core concept of the project, which is decomposing numbers to 10.

Entry Events

Events that will be used to introduce the project to students

The Magical Garden

A magical garden has sprouted overnight, filled with colorful flowers and friendly insects. However, the garden needs to be balanced with exactly 10 flowers in each section to attract the most butterflies. Students explore the garden and use number bonds to determine how many of each color flower to plant in each section, creating a visually appealing and mathematically sound environment.

Portfolio Activities

These activities progressively build towards your learning goals, with each submission contributing to the student's final portfolio.

Activity 1

Ten-Object Treasure Hunt

Students will explore different combinations of objects (e.g., toys, fruits) that make up the number 10. They will physically group and separate these objects to understand the concept of number bonds.

Steps

Here is some basic scaffolding to help students complete the activity.

1. Gather a collection of objects (toys, fruits, blocks) that can be easily grouped and separated.

2. Ask students to create different groups of these objects that add up to 10.

3. Have students draw or take pictures of each group, labeling the number of objects in each part.

Final Product

What students will submit as the final product of the activityA collection of drawings or photos showing different groupings of objects that make 10, with labels indicating the number in each group.

Alignment

How this activity aligns with the learning objectives & standardsAligns with K.OA.3.A by introducing the concept of decomposing numbers up to 10.

Activity 2

Number Bond Picture It

Students will create visual representations of number bonds using drawings or stickers. They will divide a set of 10 objects into two groups and represent this division visually.

Steps

Here is some basic scaffolding to help students complete the activity.

1. Provide students with worksheets or blank paper and drawing materials (crayons, markers, stickers).

2. Instruct students to choose a number bond to 10 (e.g., 6 + 4, 8 + 2) and represent it visually using drawings or stickers.

3. Have students label each part of the number bond and the total (10).

Final Product

What students will submit as the final product of the activityA worksheet or poster with visual representations of various number bonds to 10, clearly showing the two parts that make up the whole.

Alignment

How this activity aligns with the learning objectives & standardsAligns with K.OA.3.A by having students visually represent number bonds to 10.

Activity 3

Character and Setting Creation

Students will begin creating their number bond storybook by developing characters and a setting where these characters can interact to form groups of 10. They will write simple sentences describing the interactions.

Steps

Here is some basic scaffolding to help students complete the activity.

1. Brainstorm characters that can be grouped (e.g., animals, fruits, children).

2. Develop a setting for the story where the characters can interact.

3. Write simple sentences introducing the characters and setting, and create a scenario where they form a group of 10.

Final Product

What students will submit as the final product of the activityA rough draft of the storybook's beginning, including character introductions and the setting, with an initial number bond scenario.

Alignment

How this activity aligns with the learning objectives & standardsAligns with K.OA.3.A by introducing the storybook format and reinforcing number bonds through a narrative.

Activity 4

Storybook Number Bond Adventures

Students will expand their storybook by illustrating different scenarios where the characters form groups of 10 in various ways. Each page will depict a different number bond, with corresponding text.

Steps

Here is some basic scaffolding to help students complete the activity.

1. Plan different scenarios for each page of the storybook, each showing a different number bond to 10.

2. Illustrate each scenario with drawings or collages.

3. Write simple sentences to describe each scenario, highlighting the number bond.

Final Product

What students will submit as the final product of the activityA completed storybook with multiple pages, each illustrating a different number bond to 10, with accompanying text.

Alignment

How this activity aligns with the learning objectives & standardsContinues to align with K.OA.3.A, focusing on the storybook creation and different ways to show decomposing numbers up to 10.
