Rationale

Students will build on their prior knowledge of decomposing number up to 9 to understand the decompositions of the number
10. They will further their understanding of addition through the use of Rekenrek bracelets and grouping of ones to create a
larger number. These skills will allow students to successfully begin adding and decomposing larger numbers.
