Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards
AAS Standard:
Learning Objectives: Students will mentally add 10 to a given two-digit number.
Strategies, Preparations and Variations
Phase: After/Explain/Elaborate
Activity: Students will use an internet-connected device to play "10 More Attack."
In the game, they will be given a two-digit number and mentally add 10 more to sink the ships. The students' job is to destroy the robot submarines using depth changes. The only problem is the sonar screen is always off by 10 fathoms, so students will have to add ten to the two-digit number shown.
Students will record each equation in their math journals.
Assessment Strategies: The teacher will use observation and student recordings to formatively assess students specifically looking for those who are mentally adding 10.
Advanced Preparation: The teacher needs to provide the link to students.
Students must have an internet-connected device and math journal.
