MAFS.2.NBT.2.9Archived Standard

Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.
General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 2
Domain-Subdomain: Number and Operations in Base Ten
Cluster: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning
Cluster: Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract. (Major Cluster) -

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Lesson Plans

Subtracting 9 the:

In this lesson, students will use the hundreds chart to discover a strategy to subtract 9 from different numbers. Students will learn and practice the compensation strategy of subtracting 10 and then adding 1 back to get the final difference. Students will also learn and practice visualizing to “mentally see” the hundreds chart and use it as an efficient mental math strategy to subtract 9 from any given two-digit number.

Type: Lesson Plan

Adding 9 the:

In this lesson, students will use the hundreds chart to discover a strategy to add 9 to different numbers. Students will then learn to visualize the hundreds chart as an efficient mental math strategy to add 9 to any given two-digit number.
