Key Concepts

  • Teen numbers (11-19)
  • Number bonds
  • Place value (tens and ones)

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to identify teen numbers.
  • Students will be able to decompose teen numbers into a ten and some ones.
  • Students will be able to represent teen numbers using number bonds.

Educator Instructions

  • Introduction (5 mins)
    Begin by asking students what they know about superheroes. Then, introduce the concept of "superhero math" where they'll use their math skills to become number superheroes! Briefly review numbers 1-10.
  • Video Time (5-7 mins)
    Watch the "Teen Numbers: Number Bond - Superhero Math Brain Break" video. Encourage students to participate in the movements and call out the number bonds as they appear on the screen.
  • Number Bond Practice (10 mins)
    After the video, draw a number bond on the board. Choose a teen number, such as 14. Ask students: "What two numbers make 14?" Guide them to understand that 14 is made of 10 and 4. Write 10 and 4 in the number bond. Repeat with other teen numbers, having students come to the board to fill in the number bonds.
  • Superhero Movement Activity (5 mins)
    Connect each part of the number bond to a movement. For instance, for the number 12: When we say 10, let's do 10 jumping jacks. When we say 2, let's do 2 superhero poses! This reinforces the number bond in a kinesthetic way.
  • Wrap-up (3 mins)
    Review the key concept: Teen numbers are made of one ten and some extra ones. Ask students to name a teen number and tell you what makes it up (e.g., 17 is made of 10 and 7).

Educational Standards

CCSS.Math.Content.1.NBT.B.2.B:The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones. CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6:Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
