Base Ten Equations

The Connected Kinders are becoming teen number experts.  We are working so very hard at deeply understanding the numbers 1-20.  We have played several games and we are constantly counting.  With a strong counting foundation in place, this week we moved to the place value of the teen numbers.  The students were introduced to the concept that the teen numbers could be represented as a 10 and ones.  For example, 14 is 10+4. 

One activity we did to practice this standard was to build models of the number with a double ten frame and counters.  After students built the number, they took a picture of the model with their ipad.  Next the students put the photo into the Scribble Press app and wrote the corresponding equation.  Aren't these kids impressive?!
