Part 1: Spiral Warm-Up Solutions
1. Panda Pack:
Answer: 44
3 tens + 14 loose = 3 tens + 1 ten + 4 loose = 4 tens + 4 loose = 44.
2. Boba Mental Jump:
Answer: 87
40 + 40 = 80; 80 + 7 = 87. Tens jump first!
3. Myth Buster:
Answer: Bogus! (56)
Student added 1 or subtracted 7 - 3 = 4 instead of unbundling.
Guided & Independent Solutions
Mission A: 48 + 27 Answer: 75
• Loose: 8 + 7 = 15 (bundle 10 into 1 tube, keep 5 loose).
• Tubes: 1 (carried) + 4 + 2 = 7 tubes.
• Watch out: Students writing 615 forgot to bundle into tens!
Mission B: 73 - 38 Answer: 35
• Cannot do 3 - 8 loose without unpacking.
• 7 tubes ➔ 6 tubes; 3 loose ➔ 13 loose.
• 13 - 8 = 5 loose; 6 - 3 = 3 tubes = 35 squishies.
Problem 1: 57 + 36 Answer: 93
• 7 + 6 = 13 (bundle 1 tube, 3 loose remain).
• 1 + 5 + 3 = 9 tubes = 93 boba squishies.
Problem 2: 82 - 47 Answer: 35
• Unpack 1 tube: 8 tubes ➔ 7 tubes; 2 loose ➔ 12 loose.
• 12 - 7 = 5 loose; 7 - 4 = 3 tubes = 35 panda squishies.
Problem 3: 90 - 46 (Zero Drop) Answer: 44
• 0 - 6 loose cannot happen. Unpack 1 tube from 9 tubes (leaving 8 tubes).
• Loose room gets 10 loose squishies. 10 - 6 = 4 loose. 8 tubes - 4 tubes = 4 tubes = 44 glow squishies.
Exit Ticket Key & Quick Scoring
Task 1: 47 + 35 = 82
7 + 5 = 12 (1 tube bundled, 2 loose left).
1 + 4 + 3 = 8 tubes. Sketch must circle 10 dots.
Pass criteria: 82 with clear +1 ten mark.
Task 2: 84 - 39 = 45
8 crossed out ➔ 7. 4 crossed out ➔ 14.
14 - 9 = 5 loose; 7 - 3 = 4 tubes.
Pass criteria: 45 with crossing out shown.
Squishy Factory Humor Prompt: Bring an actual foam squishy to class! When demonstrating regrouping, squeeze it slowly: "Watch the numbers compress! You can't fit 15 squishies into a tiny box—they'll squish out of the cracks! Bundle 10 into a tube!" Students will giggle and remember forever. 🥑✨

Part 1: Spiral Warm-Up Solutions
1. Day 1 Add (58 + 26):
Answer: 84
8 + 6 = 14 (bundle 1 tube); 1 + 5 + 2 = 8 tubes = 84.
2. Day 1 Subtract (72 - 38):
Answer: 34
Unpack 7 tubes ➔ 6; 12 - 8 = 4; 6 - 3 = 3 tubes = 34.
3. Group Counting:
Answer: 30 squishies
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 30 (5 groups of 6 = 5 × 6 = 30).
Guided & Independent Solutions
Mission A: 468 + 285 Answer: 753
• Loose: 8 + 5 = 13 (bundle 1 tube, keep 3 loose).
• Tubes: 1 + 6 + 8 = 15 tubes (bundle 1 pallet, keep 5 tubes).
• Pallets: 1 + 4 + 2 = 7 pallets.
• Total: 753 squishies . Both columns bundle.
Mission B: 3 shelves of 8 bunnies Answer: 24
• Equation: 3 × 8 = 24 (or 8 + 8 + 8 = 24).
• Array sketch must show 3 horizontal rows with 8 dots each.
• Mention commutative property: 8 × 3 is also 24!
Problem 1: 376 + 488 Answer: 864
• 6 + 8 = 14 (1 carried to tubes).
• 1 + 7 + 8 = 16 tubes (1 carried to pallets).
• 1 + 3 + 4 = 8 pallets = 864 squishies.
Problem 2: 600 - 247 (Zero Drop) Answer: 353
• Unbundle 6 pallets ➔ 5; tubes becomes 9; loose becomes 10.
• 10 - 7 = 3; 9 - 4 = 5; 5 - 2 = 3 ➔ 353 squishies.
• Misconception: Students writing 447 or 400.
Problem 3: 5 shelves of 9 waffle squishies Answer: 45
• Repeated addition: 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 45.
• Multiplication sentence: 5 × 9 = 45 waffles.
Exit Ticket Key & Quick Scoring
Task 1: 503 - 267 = 236
5 pallets ➔ 4; 0 tubes ➔ 9; 3 loose ➔ 13.
13 - 7 = 6; 9 - 6 = 3; 4 - 2 = 2.
Pass criteria: 236 with clear trade notations.
Task 2: 6 crates × 7 unicorns = 42
Draw 6 groups of 7 dots, or a 6×7 grid.
Multiplication sentence: 6 × 7 = 42 unicorns.
Pass criteria: Accurate model and product 42.
Warehouse Management Analogy: Tell students: "When a customer wants 247 squishies from an untouched 600-pallet stack, you can't just slice open the top plastic! You have to wheel a 100-pallet over, break it into 10 tubes, and take 1 tube to open 10 loose squishies!" This physical visual cements the across-zero algorithm! 🚚🏬
