Let’s Create Picture

Models and Equations to

Help us Add!

Learning Objective:
Students will be able to model and
solve addition word problems by
drawing a picture and writing an
equation.
We’ve been practicing how to
add using 2 digit-numbers
using different strategies.
Today, we’re going to apply
that knowledge to word
problems.
 Solve & Share
Al has 25 rocks. His
friend gives him 16 more
rocks. How many rocks
does Al have now?
Can you make a 10?
 Turn and Talk
- What strategies did you use to solve the
problem?
- Did you get the same answer?
- Do you agree or disagree with your
partner’s solution?
 Let’s Share!

 We will now focus on drawing pictures
using tens and ones and writing equations
to model & solve addition word
problems.
Think-Pair-Share
1) Look for key words
in the problem
2) What models can
you use?
3) Can you try to
create an equation?
 Let’s Come Back Together…
Ellen has 27 stickers. Her brother gives her 26 stickers. How many stickers does Ellen have in all?
●What did you and your partner discuss?
●How can we draw tens and ones to help us solve? How can we group them?

●How does this picture show that another 10 was made?

●Let’s create an equation!
