One of the things we will be doing in this chapter is deconstructing the numbers. This means showing how we can make the number in a variety of ways. It is the beginning of our understanding of addition.
We used magnetic 10 frames and counters to show this. I used the easel to record all of the possible ways to make 6.
6 blue counters and 0 red counters
5 blue counters and 1 red counter
4 blue counters and 2 red counters.....
The students used their own counters to model the ways to make 6.
4 red counters and 2 yellow counters is a way to show 6.
3 red counters and 3 yellow counters is a way to make 6.
1 red counter and 5 yellow counters is a way to make 6.
