What kids do
“Write the number that is 1 more, 1 less, 10 more and 10 less.”
Teacher tip
A hundred chart helps: up one row is ten less, down one row is ten more.
How to use it
- Build the first number with base-ten blocks before kids write anything.
- Draw a place value chart on the board and keep it up while kids work.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Zeros as placeholders. Kids often write 307 as 37 or three hundred seven as 3007.
Talk about it
- What is this digit worth? How do you know?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
