DAILY 5

SMART Room 
Math: Fact Families

New Concept: Today we will keep working on story problem and again we will BE the number bond! There were 3 cupcakes on a plate. Some more were added. Now there are 7. (You will want to think aloud as you count on to reach 7. Have these students move to the other circle). How many were added? (count the number you added to the other circle) I also can write the fact family for this problem. Guide students towards building the subtraction equations.

Whole Group Explore: Now you will get a number bond page to share with your partner. I will call a few friends up to help act out our story problems. If you are not one of the actors, you will be also doing the problem on your number bond paper. We will also write the different equations for this story. Read and guide the student actors in the “change unknown” story problems. Guide students as you create fact families for each story problem.

Student Application: Read the story problems to the students. Students will then solve the story problem.
