Give your students a head start in math with this lesson that teaches them how to add single-digit numbers together using manipulatives.

In this lesson, each student will create a unique insect graph! Discuss how many insects are on each line and which lines have the most, least, or equal amounts.

Students will get plenty of practice composing tens with ten frames to add to 20! Use this scaffolded EL Lesson alone or for more addition practice before teaching the Scavenger Hunt Addition lesson.
