Lesson 2:
Lesson Goal: Students will understand how to express numbers in model form and then add them
Task: Students will be able to identify the amount of model blocks used in a problem to find the sum of them.
Lesson 3:

Task: Students will be able to write the numbers in expanded from using the appropriate amount of digits and zeros in a number
Lesson 4:
Lesson Goal: Students will add numbers using the standard algorithm, making sure they are stacking their numbers up one on top of each other
Task: Students will be able to show their work and answer why they have 1’s on top of their problem
Lesson 5:
