- 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”
- The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
- The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
- Decompose two-digit numbers in multiple ways (e.g., 64 can be decomposed into 6 tens and 4 ones or into 5 tens and 14 ones).
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

STEM Lessons - Model Eliciting Activity
Teams of students will use math to solve an open-ended, real-world problem to help their parent or caregiver choose the best babysitter. Students will apply mathematical skills of place value (two-digit number tens and ones) and counting to perform math calculations while analyzing data sets. This MEA will facilitate students demonstrating higher level critical thinking and problem solving during class discussions and in writing.
Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. Click here to learn more about MEAs and how they can transform your classroom.

Students are asked to decompose two-digit numbers in three different ways.
Students are asked to determine how many tens and ones there are in three different two-digit numbers.
Students examine two different two-digit numbers and describe the number of tens and ones in each number.
Students are asked to use base ten blocks to model numbers and are then asked to identify a number that has been modeled for them.
Students circle objects in bundles of 10, determine how many groups of 10 objects there are, and report the total number of objects.
Students are asked to identify numbers that have been modeled by base ten blocks and model numbers using base ten blocks.
