Solve addition and subtraction word problems1, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem (1Students are not required to independently read the word problems.)

Domain-Subdomain Information

General Information

Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: K
Domain-Subdomain: Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Cluster: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts
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.

Educational Game

  • Ten Frame This interactive game uses a ten frame to build early counting and addition skills. Students can count up to 10 objects, count out a given number up to 10, determine how many more are needed to make 10, and add two numbers from 0 to 10 using a double ten frame.

Formative Assessments

  • More Fun with Numbers Students solve an Add To (Result Unknown) word problem.
  • Two Tables Students are challenged to find all the different ways to sort six toys into two different groups.
  • Lizards on a Rock Students solve an addition and a subtraction word problem using manipulatives or pencil and paper.
  • Cats and Dogs Word Problem Students are given a subtraction word problem and asked to solve the problem by drawing a picture or using manipulatives.
  • Bowl of Apples Word Problem Students are asked to solve an addition word problem by drawing a picture or using manipulatives.

Lesson Plans

  • Quacking Addition – Sums within Ten This activity deepens the students' understanding of addition and recording addition sentences by using an engaging story about ducks in a pond.
  • SPLASH! Jumping In and Out of the Pond

    In this lesson, students will use manipulatives and equations to represent and solve addition and subtraction word problems.

  • What's Growing In Your Garden: Working with Word Problems In this lesson, students will solve addition and subtraction word problems within 10 related to a garden theme.
  • How Many Hearts? In this lesson, students sing a song that provides practice problems in adding and subtracting. Students will use heart cut outs to model the story. Students will be encouraged to use drawings and record an equation to represent the story.
  • Adding Circus Animals In this lesson, students learn to solve addition word problems within 10 using the engaging book by Jill Anderson Adding with Sebastian Pig and Friends At the Circus. This is the first in a series of four lessons on adding and subtracting within 10.
  • What's Missing? In this lesson, students learn to solve addition equations that have a missing addend within 10.
  • Add Up the Parts In this lesson, students learn to solve part-part-whole addition word problems within 10. The book Adding It Up by Rosemary Wells will be used to introduce the lesson.
  • Button Subtraction In this lesson, students learn to solve subtraction word problems within 10. The book, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons will be used to engage students.
  • Addition Story Problem Fun

    In this lesson, students will act out situations as an introduction to story problems. Students will also have the opportunity to solve addition story problems using manipulatives.

  • Help Pick Your Class Pet In this Model Eliciting Activity, MEA, the class receives a letter from the principal informing them they will be getting a class pet. They need to determine which pet to pick based on the data. Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought process. MEAs follow a problem-based, student centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

  • How Many Goldfish?

    In this lesson, students will solve addition and subtraction word problems using Goldfish crackers. Students will also work with a partner to create and solve their own addition and subtraction word problems.
