This video addresses Indiana Academic Standard for Math K.CA.3: Use objects, drawings, etc., to decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, and record each decomposition with a drawing or an equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1). [In kindergarten, students should see equations and be encouraged to trace them, however, writing equations is not required.] Math education consultant Courtney Flessner helps educators envision the teaching and assessment of this standard in kindergarten.

In kindergarten we want students to understand that numbers can be composed of many combinations that can be represented with manipulatives and pictures. Students should be able to explain what their representations mean (e.g. “I have a group of 4 and a group of 6. Together, they make 10”).

Teachers provide a variety of manipulatives and opportunities for students to explore all combinations of all numbers within 10. As it pertains to this strand, this standard is an excellent time for students to explore the concept of doubles and how they connect to multiplication as an operation. For example, 2 + 2 is the same as 2 groups of 2, 3 + 3 is the same as 2 groups of 3, etc. Teachers should use this language interchangeably as they work to decompose numbers and solve real-world problems in the classroom. Assessment is done on an ongoing basis through observation, student work samples, conversation, and conferring.
