PERFORMANCE TASK
How many different ways can you group 10 chicks? You will use each strip of chicks to show an equation of 10, by cutting and gluing them onto your paper. You will write an equation next to the pieces you have glued down. Remember to show 10 chicks in different ways.
ANNOTATION
Page 1
Student has accurately shown different combinations of 10, using pictures, symbols, and numbers. Equations are well organized and match pictures. Student uses combinations of 5 to make 10. This shows hierarchical inclusion, nesting 5 within 10.
Page 2
Student uses commutative combinations, understanding number order can be changed.
To be advanced student could have shown other strategies of solving the problem such as number bonds.
