Follow up Questions:

students respond to you?
They did well. I wanted them to explain their thinking… ex: putting the
big number in their head (reinforcement) and show me on their fingers.
-What will you do with the groups tomorrow? Why?
-I think they are ready for doubles. We will still use warm up with the
other strategies.
