Inquiry Lesson
Storyboard Text
- All right!
- Jenny has 20 red beads and 14 blue beads. How many beads does she have total?
- Today we are going to work in our collaborative groups to answer this inquiry question.
- Woo-hoo!
- Please work on solving it alone first
- I know this!
- Jenny has 20 red beads and 14 blue beads. How many beads does she have total?
- Hmmm. It says "total" I should add.
- Magnificent Mathematicians!
- I'm having this group present first, then group 5.
- What have you tried?
- First I decomposed then added.
- We've got to make sure we all know what's on our poster.
- How did you solve it, Karla?
- That's a good idea!

- I agree, because total is a clue word for addition.
- Do we agree, or disagree and why?
- Johnny, what did Kenny write?
- He added 20+14 because it said total in the question.
- Jenny has 20 red beads and 14 blue beads. How many beads does she have total?
- I agree too because total means the same as altogether.
- They solved the problem by using a number line, but the answer was the same.
- How was this strategy of decomposing the same or different as the previous strategy?
- Jenny has 20 red beads and 14 blue beads. How many beads does she have total?
- That tells us that it doesn't matter how we solve, as long as what we do makes sense.
- We decomposed the 14 into 10 and 4 to add more easily.
- We can use an open number line and count on.
- I am very proud of all your hard work today. Before we go to recess, turn to your partner and explain to him/her the answer to our focus question.
- Jenny has 20 red beads and 14 blue beads. How many beads does she have total?
- We can decompose to make a ten first...
- How can we add 2 2-digit numbers?
- Yes, and we can also add by using place value...
