The purpose of this task is to help students develop fluency with addition facts to 10. Using the book "Ten Flashing Fireflies" by Philemon Sturges, students will move a yellow counter to the ten frame to represent the firefly in the jar. Stop several times during the story to allow the students time to talk with their partner about how many fireflies are in their jar and how many are in the sky.
