Cluster:
Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from. (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. |
