Monday
//Learning Target: I can find out how many partners and teams there are in a number.//

Introduce partners and teams activity and worksheet (lesson 3.1)

Students do worksheet. [|partnersteamsv2.doc]

Tuesday
//Learning Target: I can find out how many partners and teams there are in a number.//

Same as yesterday: review changes in worksheet, and go over how to draw lines to represent people. Kids work on the worksheet independently.

Have students go down the “partners” side and then the “teams” side separately (instead of switching back and forth).

Sharing: look for patterns between the partners and teams side (use the big chart and fill in some more numbers, then talk about patterns they notice). (Whole group together)

Thursday
//Learning Target: I can find out how many partners and teams there are in a number.// //I can explain what odd and even numbers are.//

Review patterns in partners / teams chart.

Keep working on the worksheet.

At the end, talk about odd numbers and even numbers, and make a chart of what we know about them.
