Real-World Activity





The Toy Factory!
Real-World Activity: You have recently learned how to add and subtract two digit numbers without regrouping. Today I am going to  give you the opportunity to show me how well you can add and subtract two digit numbers. We are going to the toy factory and I need your help. I have a list of toys that I need to obtain from the toy factory. You are going to help me get the toys I need. There are two seperate bags. One bag contains the items I have to get from the toy factory. The second bag has the number of each item I need. If you need help Skipper Math will show you both adding and subtracting two-digit numbers. Good Luck!
Lesson 1 Directions:
This activity will be an individual effort.
1. You will draw one item out of the first bag. This will tell you which toy I would like for you to help me obtain.
2. Then you will draw two, two-digit numbers from a second bag.
3. Then  you take the number two numbers and the toy choosen from the bags, and create a word story that explains how you are going to obtain the item you selcted.
5. After you finish writing out your word story I want you to set up a problem that shows me how you added the two numbers together.
6. Once you have set up your problem, I want you to draw either a graphic organizer or a model to show how you added the numbers and obtained your answer.
Lesson 2 Directions:
This time the students will be doing subtraction of two-digit numbers. You will only draw one numbers because I have too many toys and I need to give some away. I have 39 of each kind of toy. I want you to subtract the number you draw from the total amount of toys I have and give me the difference.
1.You will draw one item out of the first bag.
2.You will then draw from the second bag, but only draw one, two-digit number this time.
3.First you will write out a word story.
5.Then the students will draw a subtraction probem using the number given to them and the number they drew from the bad. Once they are done writing the problem they will illustrate it with a model of their word story.





GPS Standard:  M1N3 Students will add and subtract numbers less than 100 as well as understand and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction.
                                       g. Apply addition and subtraction to 2-digit numbers without regrouping.
                                       
PLO:  Students will be able to recognize place value for two-digit numbers, and be able to add
