InUnit 7 during the next fewweeks, studentswill be learning how “putting together” two numbersmakes a bigger number. LearningToAdd (PuttingTogether) Students combine classroom objects, toys, shapes, and pennies. They bring groups of classmates together tomake a larger group. Studentswill tell stories about putting up to 5 items or people together and then say howmany there are altogether. Look for opportunities to “put together” the sorts of things that your child is especially familiarwith—toys, food items, or articles of clothing (such as socks). At the store say, “Ifwe choose two cans of soup and then choose onemore can, will there bemore cans or less?Howmany cans of soupwillwe have altogether?” Whenwalking through your neighborhood, ask, ”If three cars are parked along the street here and then twomore cars park here, howmany carswill be parked here altogether?” Show your child how combining one numberwith anothe numbermakes a larger number “in all.” For example, say, “There are three people at the table.Then one more person comes to the table.Now there aremore peopleat the tabl .” Here are somewords that students shouldbecome familiarwith as they learn about “putting together”: onemore twomore pennies graph Sincerely, ________________ Daily Teacher Support ◗ structured 1-2-3 lesson plans ◗ scaffolded lesson sequencing ◗ lightly-scripted lessons ◗ children’s story activities ◗ learning center activities TeacherManual
