Objective: Today, I will write an equation to express an even number as the
sum of two equal addends.

Equation: a number sentence with an equal sign. 10 = 5 + 5 or 5 + 5 = 10
0---0 0---0 0---0 0---0 0---0
Considerations At this point in the year, students have worked with place value (Unit 1) and skip counting (Unit 2). In Unit 2 Lessons 1 & 2, students determined whether a number was odd or even by pairing the members of a set.
Steps: 1. Draw/count manipulatives. 2. Pair objects. 3. If all objects are paired, the number is even. If there is a “left over,” the number is odd.
Application of MPs 5 + 5 = 10
MP2: What does your model represent? MP3: How does your model support your answer? MP7: Where can you see a pattern? MP8: Can you see any repetition in your work?
*MP1: Make sense of the problem and persevere in solving it! *MP8: Find a strategy to help solve the problem. Directions: Solve the problems below by placing the objects into two groups.
1. Write an equation expressing the number 6 as a sum of 2 equal addends.
0----0 0----0 0----0
2. Represent 16 as the sum of 2 equal addends by:
1. Draw a picture for 5 + 5 + 5 + 5. What do you notice about the sum?
2. Draw a picture for 8 + 8 + 8 + 8. What do you notice about the sum?
Extension
*MP4: How can you relate this to something in real life?
Draw a picture and write an equation to represent the sum of one odd number and one even number. What do you notice about the sum? Why do you think the sum is what it is?
Reaching Consensus
*MP3: Do you agree/disagree with what
said?
Student Presentations
*MP6: How do you know your answers are correct/reasonable?
Closure Recap today’s lesson with one or more of the following MP questions: MP2: What did your model represent? MP3: How did your model support your answer? MP7: Where did you see a pattern? MP8: Did you see any repetition in your work?
