Open Middle tasks provide opportunities for student to approach a mathematical task using different strategies and representations. They can be used as a warm-up/closing activity, as a formative assessment, or to facilitate discourse and discussion and get insite into student thinking and problem solving. These tasks provide a great opportunity for student to engage with the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

The focus of the Understanding Ten Ones and Some More Ones intervention has two phases. Phase 1: Group ten ones using physical manipulatives to represent a two-digit number and write it. Phase 2: Group ten ones together after drawing pictures to represent a two-digit number and write it.

Open Middle provides math problems that have a closed beginning, a closed end, and an open middle. This means that there are multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problems. Open middle problems generally require a higher Depth of Knowledge than most problems that assess procedural and conceptual understanding.

Children will develop the concept of inclusion, that larger numbers ÒincludeÓ smaller numbers.
