Synopsis :

The Double-Decker Bus "The Double Decker Bus: Early Addition and Subtraction"is one of eight units in the "Contexts for Learning Mathematics' Investigating Number Sense, Addition, and Subtraction" (K-3) This unit begins with the story of a double-decker bus-a bus that has two decks with ten seats on each. Five seats on each deck are red and five seats are white. The bus goes by quickly and the little girl in the story, sitting at her bedroom window and watching, works out ways to use the colors of the seats to calculate quickly how many people are on the bus. Her father drives a double-decker bus and she helps him figure out a way to know how many empty seats there are on the top...
