Write numerals 1-5 in order. Answer and make drawings of decompositions with totals of 4 and 5 without equations.

In this lesson, students continue to decompose numbers. They first play the game Mix and Fix by ordering cards with the numerals 1 through 5 written on them. Then they create a tower with four linking cubes and practice how to decompose the number 4. Finally, students build a tower of five cubes and practice how to decompose the number 5.
