CONSTRUCTING TASK: Shake and Spill Addition (5 Or 10) Approximately one day and repeated through centers (adapted from Marilyn Burns’ Shake and Spill activity found in About Teaching Mathematics: A K-8 Resource STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL CONTENT MCCK.OA.1. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. MCCK.OA.3.Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1). MCCK.OA.4.For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation. MCCK.OA.5.Fluently add and subtract within 5 STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE parts of a set are known, addition is used to name the whole in terms of the parts.” (Van “When de Walle & Lovin 2006) allows children to focus on a single number for the Shake and Spill entire activity. It is important to give the children time to work on a single number (usually to 4 or 5, at first) throughout the activity, allowing them opportunities to explore through a variety of materials and methods of joining or separating. As their understanding of concepts develop, encourage students to extend their understanding with higher numbers. Allowing students multiple opportunities to participate in these types of activities gives them the chance to think about number relationships in a relaxed setting (Burns 2007; Van de Walle & Lovin 2006).
