Standards Addressed: MGSEK.CC.4 Understand the relationship between
numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. a. When counting
objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object
with one and only one number name and each number name with one and
only one object. (one-to-one correspondence) b. Understand that the last
number name said tells the number of objects counted (cardinality). The
number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order
in which they were counted. c. Understand that each successive number
name refers to a quantity that is one larger.
MGSEK.CC.5 Count to answer how many? questions. a. Count to answer
how many? questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a variety of
ways (a line, a rectangular array, or a circle), or as many as 10 things in a
scattered configuration. b. Given a number from 1-20, count out that many
objects. c. Identify and be able to count pennies within 20. (Use pennies as
manipulatives in multiple mathematical contexts.)
MGSEK.OA.2 Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and
subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the
problem.

Blooms Level of Critical Thinking:

Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing Evaluating Creating
Description of how to implement in the class: The students will be taking
numbers learned and view them in addition equations. Each number value in
equation will be compared to the amount of a certain animal, e.g. 2 cats, 4 dogs etc.
There will be animal figurines (manipulatives) and on Webspiration there are pictures
of animals that correlate with the numerical number/value. The students will apply
their knowledge of numbers and count out numbers with manipulatives gaining a
better understanding of how much a numerical number is. The BBPT will help visually
to go along with manipulatives and writing of numerical numbers.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): The level of LoTi will be a between
a 2 and 3. The students will take what they know about numbers learned (remember
and understand) and apply their knowledge of number to the addition equation,
formulate and discover what a true equation consists of.
Description of the sample BBPT file provided *: On Webspiration I made a visual
presentation of addition problems along with animals that match the corresponding
numbers in the equation.
Other comments about your proposed BBPT Activity: The BBPT activity will be
visually stimulating and is a great tool to assist young learners.
