MA.1.A.6.1Archived Standard

Use mathematical reasoning and beginning understanding of tens and ones, including the use of invented strategies, to solve two-digit addition and subtraction problems.

Remarks

Invented and standard algorithms should be explored to help students reason about joining, separating and comparing numbers, and about the relationship between tens and ones.

Example: Adding 27 and 15, a student might reason that 27 is 20 + 7 and that 15 is 10 + 5. In determining the result, they combine 20 + 10=30 and 7 + 5 =12. The final answer involves the simpler addition problem of 30 + 12 is 42.

Activities should include contexts such as money.
