Have students show you one finger, and then gesture with hands spread wide apart as they
repeat, "More!" Have students show you 10 fingers and then gesture with hands spread wide
apart as they repeat again, "More!" Write a two-digit number on the board, such as 58, and
remind students how to find one more than the number. Display base-ten blocks on a document
projector, and add one cube. Model writing the number in a place value chart, with five in the tens
column and eight in the ones column. Ask students which digit needs to change to find one more.
Change the digit in the ones place to a nine. Ask students do describe other strategies to find one
more than a number with a partner using the sentence frame, "I could ____ to find one more than
a number." Possible suggestions include using a hundreds chart, adding one, or using a number
line. Repeat with a few more examples. Include example such as "one more than 59" that require
regrouping and creating a 10. Point out that when the ones digit is nine, to add one more you
make a 10, and the digit in the ones place starts over at zero. Next, ask students how to find 10
more than the number 58. Display base-ten blocks on a document camera and add a tens rod.
Again, model writing the number in the place value chart, and ask students which digit needs to
change to find 10 more. Students should respond that you need one more 10, so the digit in the
tens place should increase by one. Ask students to discuss other strategies for finding 10 more
than a number using the sentence frame, "I could ____ to find 10 more than a number." Students
could count on 10 on the number line, or look for the number below on the hundreds chart. Solve
for 10 more than a few more numb
