Math: Decomposing And Composing Numbers
In math we are working on decomposing and decomposing numbers. This is a skill we work on to help us with addition and subtraction.
We will be using our Math It Up: Decomposing Numbers: Number bonds resource and our Snappin’ Numbers Creation!
We will use red and yellow counters to make 10. I made giant red and yellow counters from foam and I model how to make 5 or 10 in whole group. The students then practice on their own.
We use Legos to build towers of numbers and then we break them apart to decompose numbers. We then use two colors of Legos to build towers to compose numbers.
For center activities for decomposing numbers, check out this creation:
