What kids do

“Count the dots in each group. Add them together. Write the answer.”

Teacher tip

Read the plus sign as “and” for young kids: three dots and two dots. Let them count all, then count on as they get ready.

How to use it

  • Warm up with two minutes of facts out loud before kids start.
  • Ask kids to circle the problems they are sure of first, then go back to the tricky ones.
  • Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.

Watch for

Subtracting the smaller digit from the bigger one in each column (54 − 27 = 33). Ask kids to say “Can I take 7 from 4?” before they write.

Talk about it

  • Show me one problem where you had to regroup. Why?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Play a dice game: roll two dice, add or subtract, and race to a hundred.
