Study Notes

  • This procedural sequence is about using compensation to create new expressions and finding all unique arrangements of a number.
  • The context of bunk beds and apple boxes helps to understand additive equivalence and part-whole relationships.

Bunk Beds

  • Compensation is used to manipulate an additive expression.
  • Removing a value from one addend and adding it to the other maintains equivalence.
  • Example: 4 + 6 = 3 + 7 = 10

Apple Boxes

  • The number of green and red apples determines if the arrangement is unique, not the order of the apples.
  • Compensation is used to find all unique arrangements of 5 and 10 systematically.
  • The number of unique additive combinations of any number is one more than the value of that number (e.g., 10 has 11 unique combinations).

Intellectual Progression

  • Scholars already know: switching addends doesn't change the sum (commutative property of addition) and combinations of 5 and 10.
  • Numbers grow by one when counting (hierarchical inclusion).
  • Objects can be moved between groups without changing the total.
  • In this Sequence: scholars will develop an understanding of how compensation can be used to create equivalent expressions, and they will start to be able to manipulate additive expressions flexibly
  • The number of unique additive combinations of a number is one more than the number itself.
  • Through compensation, understanding of part-whole relationships is deepened.

Later in the Course

  • Part-whole relationships are explored through place value.
  • Digits in a two-digit number represent tens and ones.

After the Course

  • Riemann sums in calculus approximate the area under a curve.
  • The area under the curve is sectioned into different parts, which when added together, produce a finite whole.
  • The unit sets the foundation for understanding part-whole relationships at a more complex level.

Essential Questions

  • How can we prove that two additive expressions are equivalent?
  • Can we find all unique additive combinations of a specific number?
  • How do you know you have exhausted all combinations?

Content Overview

  • Compensation is used to create equivalent expressions by taking from one group and giving it to another.
  • Equivalence is maintained because the total number of objects doesn't change.

Example: Bunk Beds

  • Moving kids between bunks mimics compensation.
  • 4 kids on top, 4 on the bottom (4 + 4).
  • One kid moves, resulting in 3 + 5.
  • Both expressions equal 8.

Comparing Expressions

  • Compensation compares expressions without solving.
  • Comparing 2 + 6 and 3 + 4: changing 2 + 6 to 3 + 5 demonstrates that 2 + 6 must be greater than 3 + 4.

Unique Arrangements

  • The number of possible arrangements is 1 more than the number itself.
  • A unique arrangement is when no other arrangements have the same quantities of objects.
  • The quantity of objects determines uniqueness, not the arrangement.
  • Example: "red, red, green, red, green" is the same as "green, green, red, red, red" given they have 2 green apples and 3 red apples each.

Finding Arrangements of 5 Apples

  • There are 6 unique arrangements of 5 apples.
  • 11 unique arrangements can be made with 10 apples.

Unique Arrangements of 10

  • The unique arrangements of 10 total as follows:
  • 10 + 0
  • 9 + 1
  • 8 + 2
  • 7 + 3
  • 6 + 4
  • 5 + 5
  • 4 + 6
  • 3 + 7
  • 2 + 8
  • 1 + 9
  • 0 + 10
