Students that are proficient in math are able to identify a problem and entry
points towards the solution. Students in younger grades often use concrete
representations-such as touch points- to solve problems.
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP5 Use appropriate tools strategically.
First grade students are at a point in their learning where they are making many
connections between prior knowledge and new content. Students have already
learned mathematical strategies such as number bonds and using a number line.
This lesson is focused on touch points (a tool students can use for addition and
subtraction). Students that are proficient in math have the ability to identify
mathematical strategies and use them in problems. The assessment focuses on
teaching students the ability to appropriately use the touch point strategy.
