Number Sense: Decomposing Teen Numbers


Main Standard

Other Applicable Standards

K.NBT.1: Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to


19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using
objects or drawings, and record each composition or
decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 =
10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed
of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, or nine ones.

Counting and Cardinality

K.CC.1 Count to 100s by ones and by tens


K.CC.2 Count forward beginning from a given number
within the known sequence
K.CC.3 Write numbers 0 to 20. Represent a number of
objects with a written numeral (with 0 representing a
count of no objects.)

Structure of the Unit Plan


1 individual preassessment
8 15-20 minute lessons
implemented as one center
during our daily math
center rotations

Terminal Objective
Students will be able to use
manipulatives to decompose
5 given numbers and
complete a number sentence
to compose each of those
numbers with 80% accuracy.

Warm Up: Count orally from 10


to 20
Decompose 5 teen numbers
using Base 10 blocks
Complete 5 number sentences to
match specific teen numerals

Motivation throughout the Unit Plan


To keep students motivated
throughout the Unit Plan a system
was developed to have them earn
pieces of an ice cream sundae each
time they completed a center. At the
end of the Unit Plan, if a student
had earned all 8 pieces of their ice
cream sundae they would receive a
real ice cream sundae on Fun
Friday.

Instructional Choices and Supports


The majority of the jobs, handouts and activities used throughout this unit plan were created by me or by
fellow teachers. Here are a few of the activities I designed myself for my students to use.

This mat was created to provide students with a way to


visually break down teen numbers into sets of 10 and extra
ones. Each student was given a laminated mat and a
whiteboard to practice with during the center.

The students used this mat to practice forming number


sentences about teen numbers. Each student was given a
mat, marker, and teen number flashcard and they
practiced creating number sentences about that number.

Instructional Choices and Supports


On this handout,
students were asked
to color in the base
10 blocks to reflect
the teen number
written to the left of
each set of blocks.
This helped to
determine their
understanding of
base 10 blocks after
their first introduction
to them.

Here students cut out


the teen numbers on
the bottom of the page
and were asked to
glue them in the
proper order on the
page. This helped to
determine their
understanding of the
order of numbers 6
through 20.

Planning and Organization: Through this experience I learned just how much thought and detail goes into
developing a unit plan. I had to plan out all assessments, activities, materials, and manipulatives very early on and
stick to that schedule to ensure that I taught all the content I needed to teach. The practice organizing and planning
I had during this unit plan will certainly be beneficial for future unit plans I create.
Introducing Manipulatives: I learned very early on in my unit plan that I had to give my students at least a little bit of
time to explore the manipulatives and play with their prior to asking them to do something specific with them. In my
own classroom I will allow them to spend some time exploring them the first weeks of school before asking them to
complete a task with them.
Investment: I now know how important it is to provide students with something to motivate them throughout the unit.
I know (because my students told me) that the reason they were so engaged and as excited in my lessons was
because they knew they could earn some of their sundae. I will be using this strategy again in my future classroom,
hopefully somewhere on the wall where they can see it easily.
Data Tracking: I also learned very early on how important it is to have a filing system and a tracking sheet for
ensuring that all student work been completed and graded. Having a data sheet with their scores all on one page
allow me to see who needed extra support with specific content. In my own room I will ensure that I have data
forms like what I used for the unit plan created ahead of time and accessible to me at all times.
