Part 1
The specific Stepping Stones lesson I was assigned was Grade 2 module 10, lesson 8.
This lesson is titled Consolidating Addition with Three-Digit Numbers. It focuses on students
using addition strategies to add one-, two-, and three- digit numbers to three-digit numbers.
The activities in this lesson does not include student invented strategies. In the lesson, the
students are directed to practice two specific methods to solve three addition sentences. The first
method is using numbers lines to solve the equations and the second method is using base-10
blocks. On p. 255 of the textbook states Carpenter and colleagues (1996) refer to any strategy
other than the standard algorithm or that does not involve the use of physical materials or
counting by ones as an invented strategy. The two methods use physical materials to help the
students. Although there is no activity that included student invented strategies in this lesson, it
does allow for the development of invented strategies. Through the activities familiarizing
students with place values and the unit of ten, students can invent easier ways to problem solve
and ways to do it mentally.

teacher will ask students if they can find any other way to solve the

mentally or use their own strategy.
o This portion of the lesson allows for student invented strategies.
Students can find faster ways of solving the problem or solving
it in a way that is easier for them to understand.
Students will be asked to share the methods and strategies they used.
Students will present in their pairs and can show their number line or
base ten blocks to help illustrate their thinking. They may also share if
they invented their own strategy to find the solution.
Next, Student Journal 10.8 is projected on the board while the students
follow along in their own books. The class will work together on the
first page. Students will work individually to solve the problems on the
second page.
o To assist students, especially those who are struggling, they will
be able to use base ten blocks and will be encouraged to draw
number lines.
Closure The class will discuss the answers to Student Journal 10.8. Students
How will you will have the opportunity to demonstrate the methods that they used and
end the lesson? the matching number sentences.
The students will then gather together on the floor and the teacher will
bring up to the two methods illustrated in the Student Journal (showed
below). The teacher will ask What is different about these two
methods? What is the same? In groups of three, students will discuss
the similarities and difference of the methods. After, each small group
will share one thing they said with the entire class.
Next, the students who prefer Tristans method will stand on one side
of the room. Students who prefer Keishas method will stand on the
other side. In their separate groups, students will pair off and discuss
why they like the methods. Next, the teacher will give students a
problem that they have to solve it using their method.
When everyone is complete, students will share their strategy and
solution with a student of the other group who solved it using the other
method.
Gifted students - There are four gifted students in the class. If they
finish solving the given problems quickly or if it is not challenging
enough, the teacher will give them more challenging addition
problems. They can also create their own addition sentences using
three-digit numbers. This will continue to keep them working and
extend their thinking.
Individual students:
There are two IEPs and one 504 plan in this class. To accommodate
the three students with disabilities and IEPs/504 plan, this lesson
includes working with manipulatives, visual aids, sharing verbally and
working in partners or groups. To help the students who have
difficulty reading and writing, they can use the manipulatives to
convey their thinking and draw the manipulatives on their paper.
When working in pairs, their partner can help them read the
worksheet. The lesson also includes sharing verbally so the students
do not need the write what they want to share. To comply to the IEPs,
the students will be given extra time all assignments. The teacher will
also accept work where drawings convey their thinking and solutions.
