Ten Black Dots

Product Information

Supply sheets pre-printed with dots that can be used as eyes or other things with a little direction. Next, they placed their dots on their paper and drew their design. I showed them how to color their design and then glue the dots down with their glue sponges. Brief Book Summary (2-3 sentences in your own words): This book counts up to 10 and discusses what children can do with each number Assessment: Did students work cooperatively in their groups to identify, record, and communicate the various ways to use two numbers to equal the sum of 10? Collect students’ recording papers.

Creativity: to be original, expressive, to come up with new ideas and new ways of looking at something. Students will be able to identify patterns among the different sets of addends used to equal the sum of 10. Objectives:• Students will be able to create and identify the different ways they can combine two numbers to equal a sum of 10. Now this is interesting. Are these pictures the same? No?? But they are both on white paper and they both have the same number of dots? How come they are different? Why didn’t everyone make the exact same picture? Description: Students will discover the various ways they can combine two numbers to equal a sum of 10. Students will also identify patterns among the different sets of addends.If you would like to create your own class book, I am offering it as a freebie! I made it in two versions. The PDF is not editable so you would have to write in your class name, the Word document can be edited to add your name and the date to it. urn:oclc:310394530 Scandate 20100414173803 Scanner scribe9.sanfrancisco.archive.org Scanningcenter sanfrancisco Source Sorting is an important skill to learn for beginning math skills. This is a super simple to set up sorting activity and will help kids sort numbers 1 through 10. I love to make class books and place them in our classroom library. Students feel like their work has a purpose. They see themselves as young authors!

Brainstorming: is when a group of people works together to think of solutions for a specific problem by creating a list of ideas from their imagination. As these emerging writers work/create, teachers circulate about the room adding student names along with short narratives from students about their work explaining what they chose to create and how the art piece achieves this goal. Donald Crews (born August 30, 1938) is an American illustrator and writer of children's picture books. In 2015, the American Library Association (ALA) honored him with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, recognizing his lasting contribution to children's literature. Common subjects of his include modern technology (especially travel vehicles), and childhood memories. His stories often include few humans. Students will bring their recording papers and gather in front of the chalkboard. Ask each group how many different ways they used two numbers to get the sum of 10. Record each new way on the chalkboard. Provide illustrations if most groups did not find that particular way of obtaining the sum of 10. The class will discuss the various ways each group used to get the sum of 10 and encourage the students to find patterns among their examples (i.e., 3 and 7, 7 and 3).

Those same counters make fabulous tools for creating numbers in a writing tray. This can help strengthen fine motor skills as well as helping to practice writing the numbers.

Instruct them to use the pencil to draw a picture that uses some of the dots the way we have been talking about. (You can use all of them, but you don’t have to. Use as many as you would like for your picture.) When done, they can color drawing with markers.Two of his works were runners-up, or Caldecott Honor Books, for the ALA's annual award for picture book illustration, the Caldecott Medal. C. Represent equivalent forms of the same number through the use of concrete objects, drawings, word names and symbols. I found it interesting that these two reviewers had such different opinions of the book. While one found the book’s premise to be fun, vibrant, and interesting, the other thought it was contrived and unoriginal. What made you make a different picture than your friend? What did you use to make your picture different?

If you are looking for more math books to read to your students, take a look at my Math Books blog post. I also have a post that will give you ideas for working on How to Practice Making Ten. I thought it was interesting that there were some rhyming elements to the book. I also liked how the words corresponded with the illustrations. However, I do agree with the one reviewer that this book is very simple and even non-logical at times. For example, when describing the number 2, the examples he used were fox eyes and then two separate keyholes as opposed to another thing that natural came with two. Students paint the spaces with Crayola Washable Watercolor Paints. This will add form to the item represented.Also have sheets with a drawing already set up, in case there is a child who might only be able to color.
