This 9-week course focuses on developing the understanding of tens and ones within 2-digit numbers, a fundamental skill in elementary mathematics education. Throughout the course, learners will have the opportunity to explore and engage with various activities that promote their understanding of composing and decomposing numbers up to 100.

One of the main goals of this course is to foster number-sense in students. By engaging in activities that encourage exploration and discovery, learners will develop a deeper understanding of numerical patterns, skip counting, sequential order (forward and backward), and comparing the values of numbers. These activities are designed to empower students to make connections between mathematical concepts and apply them in real-life situations.

Through the course, students will not only enhance their proficiency in working with 2-digit numbers, but they will also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They will be encouraged to think flexibly and strategically as they manipulate numbers and explore different ways of representing and understanding them.

Overall, this 9-week course provides a comprehensive and engaging learning experience for students, enabling them to develop a strong foundation in understanding and working with tens and ones in 2-digit numbers. By focusing on number sense and providing opportunities for exploration and discovery, this course equips learners with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their mathematical journey.
