Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Make a set with objects from a given addition or subtraction equation.
  • Join or separate objects and count to determine how many were ‘added to’ the set (Ex: 8 + ? = 10) ‘taken from’ the set (Ex: 3 - ? = 1), or the sum or difference (Ex: 6 + 6 = ?).
Representation:
  • Make a set with visuals from a given addition or subtraction equation.
  • Join or separate visuals and count to determine how many were ‘added to’ the set, ‘taken from’ the set.
  • Understand the concepts, symbols, and vocabulary of +, - and =.
