TASK W
Manipulatives/Tools Available: Popsicle Sticks
Example
Solve these problems
Complete an example
• Say, “We have nine ones. Let’s put the nine ones using Popsicle
sticks in the ones place (cup). The problem is 9+3. Let’s count three
more Popsicle sticks and add them to the nine ones.”
• Say, “Oh no! What’s wrong with the ones place?”
• Students respond, “There can only be nine ones in the ones place.
We have to regroup by making a group of ten.”
• Count the ten Popsicle sticks with the class and make a group of ten.
• Say, “How many groups of ten do we have in the tens place? How
many ones do we have in the ones place? We have 9 +3 which
equals one group of ten and two ones.”
Summarize: Say, “We learned addition with regrouping one digit,
how we can do regrouping with Popsicle sticks, and how we use
regrouping every day.”

Jamie wants to solve this problem:
1. We planted 18 daffodils. Then we planted
another 15 daffodils. How many daffodils did
we plant?
He writes the equation: 18+18=__
Jamie thinks: I can break apart the numbers.
18=10+8
15=10+5
10+10=20
8+ 5=13
20+13=33
We planted 33 daffodils.
