Students will record work, consisting of visual representations, numbers and/or equations for each
grouping of their assigned number in their math journal. Student records will be assessed by the
teacher, looking for key phrases, such as “add”, “more”, “less”, “fewer”, “take away”, and
“represent”, and images illustrating groups of objects and/or manipulatives comprising a “whole”.
The teacher will look for students’ ability to make at least 5 combinations of their assigned number.
