Present a story problem: "Sarah has 8 apples. She wants to put them in 2 bags. How can she do this?"
8 total apples
Bag 1: 4
Bag 2: 4
Have students find multiple ways to decompose 8: 8 = 4+4, 8 = 3+5, 8 = 2+6, etc.
Create a class chart showing all the ways to decompose 8. Students contribute their findings.
- Observation: Watch students as they work with manipulatives
- Recording Sheet: Check for accurate decomposition notation
- Oral Assessment: Ask students to explain their thinking
Introduce three-part decompositions or challenge with larger numbers
Provide picture supports and focus on smaller numbers initially
Students find items at home and practice decomposing them into two groups.
