BIG IDEAS
So that I can have the mental facts to enable understanding of higher level operations
We add/subtract every day so that if I know my facts, I will be able to use them accurately
- So I can use inverse relationships in operations to check my own work
UNDERSTANDING THE STANDARD
- Computational
fluency is the ability to think
flexibly in order to choose appropriate strategies to solve problems accurately
and efficiently.
- Addition and subtraction should be taught concurrently in order to develop understanding of the inverse relationship.
- Concrete models should be used initially to develop an understanding of addition and subtraction facts.
- Recognizing and using patterns and learning to represent situations mathematically are important aspects of primary mathematics.
- An equation (number sentence) is a mathematical statement representing two expressions that are equivalent. It consists of two expressions, one on each side of an 'equal' symbol (e.g., 5 + 3 = 8, 8 = 5 + 3 and 4 + 3 = 9 - 2).
- Equations may be written with sums and differences at the beginning of the equation (e.g., 8 = 5 + 3).
- An equation can be represented using balance scales, with equal amounts on each side (e.g., 3 + 5 = 6 + 2).
- An expression is a representation of a quantity. It contains numbers, variables, and/or computational operation symbols. It does not have an equal sign (e.g., 5, 4 + 3, 8 - 2). It is not necessary for students at this level to use the term ‘expression.’
- The patterns formed by related facts facilitate the solution of problems involving a missing addend in an addition sentence or a missing part in a subtraction sentence.
- Provide practice in the use and selection of strategies. Encourage students to develop efficient strategies. Examples of strategies for developing the addition and subtraction facts include counting on;
- counting back;
- “one more than,” “two more than”;
- “one less than,” “two less than”;
- “doubles” (e.g., 2 + 2 = ; 3 + 3 = );
- “near doubles” (e.g., 3 + 4 = (3 + 3) + 1 = );
- “make 10” facts (7 + 4 can be thought of as 7 + 3 + 1 in order to make a 10);
- “think addition for subtraction,” (e.g., for 9 – 5 = , think “5 and what number makes 9?”);
- use of the commutative property (e.g., 4 + 3 is the same as 3 + 4);
- use of related facts (e.g., 4 + 3 = 7 , 3 + 4 = 7, 7 – 4 = 3, and 7 – 3 = 4);
- use of the additive identity property (e.g., 4 + 0 = 4); and
- use patterns to make sums (e.g., 0 + 5 = 5, 1 + 4 = 5, 2 + 3 = 5, etc.)
- Grade two students should begin to explore the properties of addition as strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems using a variety of representations.
- The properties of the operations are “rules” about how numbers work and how they relate to one another. Students at this level do not need to use the formal terms for these properties but should utilize these properties to further develop flexibility and fluency in solving problems. The following properties are most appropriate for exploration at this level:
- The commutative property of addition states that changing the order of the addends does not affect the sum (e.g., 4 + 3 = 3 + 4).
- The identity property of addition states that if zero is added to a given number, the sum is the same as the given number (e.g., 0 + 2 = 2).
- The associative property of addition states that the sum stays the same when the grouping of addends is changed (e.g., 4 + (6 + 7) = (4 + 6) + 7).
- Addition and
subtraction problems should be presented in both horizontal and vertical
written format.
- Models such as 10 or 20
frames and part-part-whole diagrams help develop an understanding of
relationships between equations and operations.
