Justify Conclusions (MP3)

Lamar and Siri were asked to build 124 with base-ten blocks. Lamar built 124 using 1 hundred, 1 ten, and 14 ones. Siri built 124 using 1 hundred, 4 ten and 2 ones. One student is incorrect. Evaluate each student’s thinking.

Comparing Arguments (MP3)

Part A Who do you agree with? Why? Who do you disagree with? Why? Post your answer in Padlet. Part B Use the number pieces to show a different way to make 124 using only tens and ones. Share your number pieces and post in Padlet.
