All children are able to master the basic factsincluding children with learning
disabilities. Children simply need to construct efficient mental tools that will help them.
An efficient strategy is one that can be done mentally and quickly. The emphasis is on
efficient. If drill is undertaken when counting is the only strategy available, all you get is
faster counting.
You need to plan lessons or short activities in which specific strategies are likely to be
developed. There are two basic types of lessons suggested for this purpose. The first is
to use simple story problems designed in such a manner that students are most likely to
develop a strategy as they solve it. These are worthwhile tasks that do not require a full
period to do and discuss. Rathmell, Leutzinger, and Gabriele (2000) suggest a simple
story problem and discussion in a 5 to 10 minute period to start every day. Their
teachers report that students develop and use a variety of effective strategies for
mastering basic facts. In the discussion of these solution methods, you can focus
attention on the methods others have developed.
A second possible approach is a bit more direct. A lesson may revolve around a special
collection of facts for which a particular type of strategy is appropriate. You can discuss
how these facts might all be alike in some way, or you might suggest an approach and see
if students are able to use it on similar facts.
There is a huge temptation simply to tell students about a strategy and then have them
practice it. Though this can be effective for some students, many others will not
personally relate to your ideas or may not be ready for them. Continue to discuss
strategies invented in your class and plan lessons that encourage strategies.
It is important here to make a distinction between drill and practice. Practice refers to
problem-based activities in which students are encouraged to develop (invent, consider,
trybut not master) flexible and useful strategies that are meaningful. The types of
lessons just described can be thought of practice lessons. Whether from story problems
OfficeofElementaryEducation4DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
or from consideration of a collection of similar facts, students are wrestling with the
development of strategies that they can use themselves.
Drill refers to repetitive non-problem-based activity. Drill activity is appropriate for
children who have a strategy that they understand, like, and know how to use but have
not yet become facile with it. Drill with an in-place strategy focuses students attention
on that strategy and helps to make it more automatic.
Drill plays a significant role in fact mastery, and the use of old-fashioned methods such
as flash cards and fact games can be effective if used wisely.
It is critical that you do not introduce drill too soon. Suppose that a child does not know
the 9 + 5 fact and has no way to deal with it other than to count fingers or use counters.
These are inefficient methods. Premature drill introduces no new information and
encourages no new connections. It is both a waste of time and frustration to the child.
Drill should only be used when an efficient strategy is in place.
For each particular strategy, from development to eventual drill when the strategy is well
understood, the general approach for instruction is very similar.
As has been discussed, your students will develop strategies as they solve word problems
or as they investigate a category of facts you present. When a student suggests a new
strategy, be certain that everyone else in the room understands how it is used. You can
ask another student to explain what the student has just shared with the class. This
requires students to attend to ideas that come from their classmates. Then, explore
with the class to see what other facts would work with the students suggested strategy.
Dont expect to have a strategy introduced and understood with just one word problem or
one exposure such as this. Try on several successive days problems in which the same
type of strategy might be used. Children need lots of opportunities to make a strategy
their own. Many children will simply not be ready to use an idea the first few days, and
then all of the sudden something will click and a useful idea will be theirs.
It is a good idea to write new strategies on the board or make a poster of strategies
students develop. Give the strategies names that make sense. (Doubles and add on more
set. Helens idea. Use with 3s. Include an example.)
OfficeofElementaryEducation5DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
No student should be forced to adopt someone elses strategy, but every student should
be required to understand strategies that are brought to the discussion.
When you are comfortable that children are able to use a strategy without recourse to
physical models and that they are beginning to use it mentally, it is time to drill it. You
might have as many as ten different activities for each strategy or group of facts. File
folder or boxed activities can be used by children individually, in pairs, or even in small
groups. With a large number of activities, children can work on strategies they
understand and on the facts that they need the most.
Flashcards are among the most useful approaches to fact strategy practice. For each
strategy, make several sets of flash cards using all the facts that fit that strategy. On
the cards, you can label the strategy or use drawings or cues to remind the children of
the strategy.

Facts with Zero 19 facts have zero as one of the addends. Although these facts seem
to be the simplest of all, some students will overgeneralize the idea that answers to
addition are bigger. Putting these facts into real life situations oftentimes help the
students to reinforce the zero rule.
Doubles There are only 10 doubles facts. These facts are relatively easy to learn and
become a powerful way to learn many other facts. Examples of double facts include: 5 +
5, 3 + 3, 6 + 6. Dice from board games are good visuals to use to help students remember
their double facts.
Near Doubles Near doubles are also called the doubles-plus-one facts and include all
combinations where one addend is one more than the other. There are 18 of these facts.
When students realize that these are facts that have addends with a difference of 1 (1 +
2), (3+ 4), (5 + 6) etc. they simply double the smaller addend and add 1.
Inside Doubles Inside doubles or doubles plus two facts focus on facts that have 2
addends that are separated by 2 numbers. Some examples are: (5 + 7), (4 + 6), (7+ 9).
Once the students are able to recognize these facts, they are able to look at the number
that falls between the 2 addends and double it to find the answer. For example: 5 + 7,
the number that comes between the 2 numbers is 6. The student doubles the number to
find the answer (6 + 6 = 12).
Make-Ten Facts These facts all have at least one addend of 8 or 9. One strategy for
these facts it to build onto the 8 or 9 and up to 10 and then add on the rest. For 6 + 8,
start with 8, then 2 more makes 10, and that leaves 4 more for 14. Information gathered from

The attached parent letters can be used to communicate with parents about the various
strategies. The second letter can be sent home with students as a homework guide. The
first column can be used to show the level at which the child is currently working.
Centers can be sent home as homework to support that particular strategy.

Dear Parents,
In the weeks to come, our class will be focusing on
learning our addition and subtraction math facts. I
wanted to make you aware of some of the strategies we
will be using so that you can help to reinforce these
same strategies at home.
1. One-More-Than and Two-More-Than Facts This strategy is used for
facts that have a 1 or a 2 as one of its addends (example: 8 + 2). Out
of the 100 addition facts students will learn, 36 fall under the onemore-than and two-more-than facts. In these situations, students
simply count up 1 or 2 from the greatest addend. This should be the
only situation where students count to find their answer.
2. Facts with Zero 19 facts have zero as one of the addends. Although
these facts seem to be the simplest of all, some students will
overgeneralize the idea that answers to addition are bigger. Putting
these facts into real life situations oftentimes help the students to
reinforce the zero rule.
3. Doubles There are only 10 doubles facts. These facts are relatively
easy to learn and become a powerful way to learn many other facts.
Examples of double facts include: 5 + 5, 3 + 3, 6 + 6. Dice from board
games are good visuals to use to help students remember their double
facts.
4. Near Doubles Near doubles are also called the doubles-plus-one
facts and include all combinations where one addend is one more than
the other. There are 18 of these facts. When students realize that
these are facts that have addends with a difference of 1 (1 + 2), (3+
4), (5 + 6) etc. they simply double the smaller addend and add 1.
5. Inside Doubles Inside doubles or doubles plus two facts focus on
facts that have 2 addends that are separated by 2 numbers. Some
OfficeofElementaryEducation9DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
examples are: (5 + 7), (4 + 6), (7+ 9). Once the students are able to
recognize these facts, they are able to look at the number that falls
between the 2 addends and double it to find the answer. For example:
5 + 7, the number that comes between the 2 numbers is 6. The
student doubles the number to find the answer (6 + 6 = 12).
6. Make-Ten Facts These facts all have at least one addend of 8 or 9.
One strategy for these facts it to build onto the 8 or 9 and up to 10
and then add on the rest. For 6 + 8, start with 8, then 2 more makes
10, and that leaves 4 more for 14.
Subtraction facts prove to be more difficult than addition. This is
especially true when children have been taught subtraction through a
count-count-count approach; for 13 4, count 13, count off 5, count
whats left.
1. Subtraction as Think-Addition The main strategy that will be used
with subtraction facts is subtraction as think addition. When done in
this think-addition manner, the child uses known addition facts to find
the answer. When your child sees 9 4, you want them to think
spontaneously, Four and what makes nine?
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I look forward
to working with you and your child on this new and exciting adventure!
Sincerely,

Description
I decided I needed to take some time to work with the addition and
subtraction fact program outside of the primary setting. In the primary
grades students were beginning to explore with these strategies and so
the explorative lessons provided in the packet for each strategy proved to
be a good starting point. However, I realized that by the time students
reached the 3rd grade many students had a familiarity with the strategies
but still struggled with fluency of the basic facts. So, I contacted a
willing 3rd grade teacher and began to think about how things would roll
out in a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade classroom. I consider this approach to be
more of an intervention with facts considering the expectation is that 2nd
graders maintain fluency of the basic facts (+/-) by the time they leave
2nd grade.
When I began my work with the 3rd grade my goal was to have all
students fluent by the time they began Unit 3 instruction (November
22nd) the multiplication/division unit. I was even hoping to have some
students beyond +/- and moving into beginning explorations with x/ .
I decided the first thing I needed to do with the group of students was to
assess their level of fact fluency. Perhaps I would be surprised at the
level of fluency they maintained. So, although not a set the world on
fire-get to know the class activity I decided to make a packet of mini
assessments to test the entire group on specific strategies (See
Appendix). I labeled each assessment with a number instead of the
strategy:
(1) one more than two more than
(2) doubles
(3) doubles + 1
(4) inside doubles
(5) making ten
(6) think-addition, one more than two more than
(7) think-addition, doubles
(8) think-addition, doubles + 1
(9) think-addition, inside doubles
(10) think addition, making ten
I gave students 35 seconds (10 facts on each sheet x 3 seconds = 30
seconds per assessment + an extra five seconds to get them started) from
the time I said go to complete each assessment. When I called time
it was understood that all pencils needed to go down on their desks. I
only required students to work through level 8 because it was obvious
that students were slowing down and not finishing the levels. I was
prepared to give the multiplication/division pre-assessments if the class
seemed as though they needed to move to that level. I thought perhaps
some students would be ready to move onto multiplication and division
since they were exposed to these operations in 2nd grade.
I must admit, prior to entering the classroom, I was dreading giving the
OfficeofElementaryEducation31DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
students the packet of assessments. I was thinking that they were going
to be really annoyed to have to work on this many facts and would
September 9,
kindly request that I never come back to their classroom again.
2008
However, the students really surprised me. They were enthusiastic and
excited to show me what they knew about their basic facts. No one
(continued)
cried or begged not to continue. It really turned out to be a positive
experience.
I graded all of the assessment packets and determined a level for each
student. I allowed 1 mistake or 1 fact that was not completed to achieve
mastery of a particular level. My first time to think moment occurred
Wednesday
when students mastered a higher level of strategy and missed a lower
September 10, level. For example, a student mastered doubles but not +1, + 2.
Because the strategies run as part of a hierarchy this caused me to take
2008
pause and think about how to handle this. I decided that I would record
the mastery for doubles on my assessment grid but have the student start
with the lowest level. Then, when they mastered that level they would
move past the doubles and onto the next level that they didnt master. I
recorded the results on the grid in the appendix. Teachers may have a
better way to organize this data but for me this has worked well (so far).
(See Appendix)
Using the data grid, I determined a strategy level for each student.
Because this classroom already had fact practice as part of their daily
Thursday
homework, I decided to make up take-home center bags for each student
September 11, for the strategy that they are working on. I included a parent letter (see
appendix), list of facts for that particular level (see appendix), a few
2008
games, and strategy flash cards for each bag (all items came from the
fact packet).
I returned to the classroom today with fact bags in hand excited to share
the activities with students. Before I handed out the bags I wanted to
review the strategies. I went back through the hierarchy, provided a
Tuesday
brief explanation and asked students to help me come up with facts that
September 16, fit into each strategy. Then I passed out one flashcard (two sided
commercial cards) to each student. I hung strategy cards around the
2008
room (151-157) and asked the students to scatter to their corner. When
(1 hour class session) they arrived there they were supposed to solve the fact and describe how
they did it. Then, I asked them to move, if they could to another strategy
card that helped them to solve their fact in a different way. Students who
couldnt move flipped their card to the other side to move to a different
card. After we had plenty of time to reacquaint with the strategies I
paired students up with a student focusing on the same strategy and
passed out the bags and asked them to play a game from the bag.
Students did a great job of reading the directions and playing their game
with their partners. They were thrilled to be able to take the bags home
to play with their parents. I told them to bring them back every day so
that we would have them at school if we had some extra time to practice
the facts.
Prior to arriving in the classroom I prepared a fact assessment for each
Friday
child for the level they were working on throughout the week. I went
September 19, ahead and made 50 copies of the original packet that I used originally to
OfficeofElementaryEducation32DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
assess the students. I organized the assessments into levels and put them
2008
into a file box so that I could easily access the assessments each week.
(10 minutes)
Gave the assessments for 35 seconds. Collected assessments and the
strategy bags.
First thing I did was grade each assessment and recorded it on the grid.
Sunday
Then, I pulled all the parent letters out of each bag. I recorded mastery
September 21, or currently working on on the parent letter. Then, I placed the letter
2008
into the appropriate strategy bag for that particular student. The student
will work on this bag throughout the week.
(15 minutes)
I will go back into the classroom every Friday to assess the students and
Friday
rearrange the bags.

Doubles
Beginning Exploration
There are a variety of activities that can be used to develop the pictorial version of
doubles.
Double Paint
Give each student a sheet of paper (suggested 11 x 14). Tell the students to fold their
paper in half so that the edge that measures 14 inches is divided into 2 separate parts.
Give each student a small sponge. The sponge can be pre-cut so that it resembles a
shape. Tell students to use the sponge to create shapes on one side of the paper.
Students should fold the paper in half again so that the sponge paint transfers to the
other side. Then, the students should write a number sentence to represent the fact.
Give the students a collection of old catalogs or magazines. Ask students to find
representations of doubles in the real world. Students may also draw pictures of doubles
that they see in the real world. Some examples of doubles are: 2 sets of hands (5 + 5), 1
spider (4 legs + 4 legs = 8 legs), 1 dozen eggs (6 eggs + 6 eggs = 12 eggs), etc.
Give students a set of double six or double nine dominoes. Tell the students to pull out
the doubles and draw the domino on a sheet of paper that is divided into equal parts.
Then, the students should create a number sentence to accompany the picture.
The following pages can be copied onto cardstock and bound with a plastic spiral binding.
The teacher may use the dot representation to help students recognize double sums.

Inside Doubles Inside doubles or doubles plus two facts focus on facts
that have 2 addends that are separated by 2 numbers. Some examples are:
(5 + 7), (4 + 6), (7+ 9). Once the students are able to recognize these facts,
they are able to look at the number that falls between the 2 addends and
double it to find the answer. For example: 5 + 7, the number that comes
between the 2 numbers is 6. The student doubles the number to find the
answer (6 + 6 = 12).

appropriate for a particular fact. If you dont think to use a strategy, you probably wont.
Many teachers who have tried teaching fact strategies report that the method works
well while the children are focused on whatever strategy they are working on. They
acknowledge that children can learn and use strategies. But, they continue, when the
facts are all mixed up or the child is not in the fact practice mode, old counting habits
return.
Strategy Scatter
Post the attached strategy cards in different areas of the room. Pass out 1 addition fact
card to each child. It works well if you can find addition fact cards that have a different
fact on each side of the card. Ask the students to choose an addition fact and think
about which strategy they would use to solve the fact. Then, have the students scatter
to the appropriate posted strategy chart. When they arrive under the strategy, they
should discuss how they would solve the fact. Then, tell the students to look at the same
fact and determine if there is a different strategy that they could use to solve the fact.
If so, they should scatter to the new strategy. All others should stay where they are
and welcome the newcomers into the group. Then, the students can flip their card and
follow the same process for the other fact on their flashcard.
Fact Folder Sort
File folders are used as a sort mat for students to distinguish between the strategies.
To create these folders you will need:
file folder
8 library pockets (If these are not available, simply label the inside of the
folder with the various strategies.)

Give students a variety of flashcards. The students should sort the flashcards based on
the strategy they would use to solve the fact. As they sort, they should solve the fact.
Strategy Stand
Pass out one flashcard to each child. Call out the different strategies. Students should
stand when they hear the strategy that they would use to solve the fact.
Addition Roll and Sort
To play this game, students will need two dice labeled in the following ways: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
and 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4. Each player should take turns rolling both dice to create an addition
fact. Then, the students should record the addition fact under the strategy that they
would use to solve the fact. The Addition Roll and Sort is attached for students to use.
Domino Sort
To play this game, students will need a sorting mat and a set of double nine dominoes.
Place all the dominoes face down on a flat surface. Students will take turns choosing a
domino and placing it under an appropriate strategy. Students should solve the fact
before placing the domino.

Strategy Review
Each student will record an addition fact on the
paper provided. The students will place their card
on the floor somewhere around the room. The
teacher will play the music. When the music stops
each student should step onto one of the facts. The
teacher will call out a fact strategy: doubles,
doubles + 1, make tens, etc. If the student is
standing on a fact that matches the strategy, the
student will follow the direction of the teacher:
wiggle, jump, etc. The music plays again.

had 5 fish in her aquarium. Grandma gave her some more fish. Then she had
12 fish. How many fish did Grandma give Janice? Notice that the action is
join and, thus, suggests addition. There is a high probability that students
will think 5 and how many more makes 12. In the discussion in which you use
OfficeofElementaryEducation230DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
problems such as this, your task is to connect this thought process with the
subtraction fact, 12 5.
OfficeofElementaryEducation231DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
Assessment Note continued:
If students know the addition facts but not the subtraction facts, more effort
should be placed on developing the addition-subtraction facts, more effort should be
placed on developing the addition-subtraction facts, more effort should be placed on
developing the addition-subtraction connection. Use missing-part activities and jointype story problems in which the change amount is unknown. Discuss the way that
both an addition sentence and a subtraction sentence can be written for these
situations. Be very overt in your own modeling of think-addition. For 9 4 you might
say, I know that 4 and 5 make 9, so 9 minus 4 is 5. Draw a part-while picture to go
with this explanation.
This simple diagnostic exercise can be repeated at various times to see how well
students are connecting addition and subtraction. This same approach can be used in
a diagnostic interview format. After students have completed the problems, have
them go back over those that they hesitated on, especially the subtraction facts.
Ask them to think aloud about how they would get the answer. If they have
answered an addition fact but not the corresponding subtraction fact, ask if they
can think of any way that the addition fact could help with the subtraction fact.
Remember, interview time is a time to gather informationnot to teach.

Many people will use a different strategy for each of these facts. For 14
9, it is easy to start with 9 and work up through 10: 9 and 1 more is 10, and
4 more makes 5. For the 12 6 fact, it is quite common to hear double 6,
a think-addition approach. For the last fact 15 6, 10 is used again but
probably by working backward from 15a take-away process: Take away 5
to get 10, and 1 more leaves 9. We could call these three approaches,
respectively, build up through 10, think-addition, and back down through 10.
Each of the remaining facts with sums of 11 or more can be learned using one
or more of these strategies. Keep in mind these are not required strategies.
Some children may use a think-addition method for all. Others may have a
completely different strategy for some or all of these. The three
approaches suggested here are based on ideas already developed: the
relationship between addition and subtraction and the power of 10 as a
reference point.

Build Up Through 10
This group includes all facts where the part or subtracted number is
either 8 or 9. Examples are 13 - 9 and 15 - 8.

Build Up Through the Ten-Frame
On the board or overhead, draw a ten-frame with 9 dots. Discuss how you can
build numbers between 11 and 18, starting with 9 in the ten-frame. Stress the
idea of one more to get to 10 and then the rest of the number. Repeat for a
ten-frame showing 8. Next, with either the 8 or 9 ten-frame in view, call out
numbers from 11 to 18, and have students explain how they can figure out the
difference between that number and the one on the ten-frame. Later, use the
same approach but show fact cards to connect this idea with the symbolic
subtraction fact.

Expanded Lesson
Build Up Through the Ten-Frame
Based on: Activity 4.12, page 109
Grade Level: Second grade or early third grade
Mathematics Goal:
To continue development of ten-structured thinking: When finding the difference
between a number less than 1- and one in the teens, it is useful to think of that
distance in two partsfrom the smaller number up to the 10 and from 10 to the
larger number.
To utilize 10 in some way as a strategy for subtraction facts in which the whole is
greater than 10 and the subtrahend is either 8 or 9.
Thinking About the Students:
Students should have mastered all of the addition facts for sums to 10. They should be
exploring the relationship between addition and subtraction through story problems
especially join problems with change unknown. They should have discussed and been
familiar with the idea that a number in the teens is 10 and some more; for example, 15 is
10 and 5.
Materials and Preparation
No materials other than a chalk board are required. Students will write in their journals
or on plain paper.
Before
Brainstorm
On the board or overhead, draw a ten-frame with 9 dots.
Ask: How many dots? How many more dots do I need to draw to have 14 ? (Write
14 on the board.) Have one or more students explain their reasoning. Repeat the
question with 17, 12, and 15 dots.
If students explanations involve first filling in one dot on the ten-frame and then
adding the rest to make the required number, have them come to the board to
explain again by drawing the required dots.
Change the ten-frame to 8 dots. Ask: How many more dots do I need to have 13?
(Write 13 on the board.) Repeat with other numbers in the teens. Again, look for
and focus on explanations that involve the use of 10.
OfficeofElementaryEducation237DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
The Task
Draw two prominent ten-frames side by side on the board, one with 8 dots and one
with 9 dots. Beneath write the following five facts: 13 9, 17 9, 11 8, 15 9,
13 8
The task is for students to describe a good way to think about subtracting 14-8
that makes getting the answer easyno counting, something they can do in their
heads.
Students should use the same idea to answer each of the five subtraction
problems.
During
Students may have difficulty articulating an idea. Look for students who are not
writing anything and ask them what the answer to 14 9 is. Ask: How do you
know? What did you think about to get the answer? Help students use what they
say to write down an idea. Do not push students to use an add-up through-ten
strategy or even any approach that involves 10. Allow students to use their own
ideas.
Some students may be helped by simply focusing their attention on the two tenframes and reminding them of the discussion in the first part of the lesson.
Identify students who you will have share their ideas.
After
Ask several students to share their ideas. Include several different ideas. Be
sure to find at least one or two students who worked up through 10 that you
identified in the during stage.
After a student shares how he or she worked up through 10, ask all students to try
the strategy on 15 8. Also, have students try other strategies that are
suggested when the strategy seems to be efficient (does not involve counting).
Some students may work down through 10 and others may use a known fact as a
helper.
Assessment Notes
Look for students who count on or back and do not use 10 at all. These students
will need further help with their understanding of the teen numbers.
Some students may use 10 but not efficiently. They may have to count by ones for
one or both of the two parts. These students need help with the other part of 10
and also understanding the teens as 10 and some more.
For students having difficulty, check to see if they know the corresponding
addition facts (14 9 and 9 + 5).
OfficeofElementaryEducation238DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
Next Steps
Students not effectively using 10 may benefit from building a teen number on a
pair of ten-frames using counters. Present the numbers in random order. Discuss
easy ways to put the counters on the two ten-frames without having to count.
These same students may benefit from ten-frame flash cards and also from telling
the total dots on two ten-frames when on of them is an 8 or 9. (See Activity 4.8,
p. 103)
Make flash cards for facts involving -8 or -9 with a single ten-frame showing 8 or 9
dots accordingly. Have students practice using these flash cards plain flash cards
for the same facts. Be sure that students using the flash cards have an efficient
strategy and are not counting to get answers.
OfficeofElementaryEducation239DRAFT
WashingtonCountyPublicSchools20092010
Extend Think-Addition
Think-addition remains one of the most powerful ways to think about
subtraction facts. When the think-addition concept o f subtraction is
well developed, many children will use that approach for all subtraction
facts. (Notice that for division virtually everyone uses a thinkmultiplication approach. Why?)
What may be most important is to listen o childrens thinking as they
attempt to answer subtraction facts that they have not yet mastered.
If they are not using on e of the three ideas suggested here, it is a
good bet that they are countingan inefficient method.
The activities that follow are all the think-addition variety. There s,
of course, no reason why these activities could not be used for all of
the subtraction facts. They need not be limited to the hard facts.
Activity 4.14 (Page 110)

Missing-Number Cards
Show children, without explanation, families of numbers with the sum circled as
in Figure A. Ask why they think the numbers go together and why one number
is circled. Ask why they think the numbers go together and why one number is
circled. When this number family idea is fairly well understood, show some
families with one number replaced by a question mark (Figure B), and ask what
number is missing. When students understand this activity, explain that you
have made some missing-number cards based on this idea. Each card has two
of three numbers that go together in the same way. Sometimes the circled
number is missing (the sum), and sometimes one of the other numbers is
missing (a part). The cards can be made both vertically and horizontally with
the sum appearing in different positions. The object is to name the missing
number. This same activity can be used with the triangular relationship cards.

Dear Parents,
One of the tools we will be using in our classroom
this year to support addition and subtraction facts is
triangular relationship cards.
These cards bridge the relationship between
addition and subtraction facts and encourage students to make connections
between the fact families.

Back Down Through the Ten-Frame (Page 109, Activity 4.13 Teaching
Student Centered Mathematics)
Start with two ten-frames on the overhead, one filled completely and the other partially
filled. For 13, for example, discuss what is the easiest way to think about taking off 4
counters or 5 counters. Repeat with other numbers between 11 and 18. Have students
write or say the corresponding fact.
The attached lesson comes from Teaching Student Centered Mathematics,
OfficeofElementaryEducation280DRAFT

Think-addition remains one of the most powerful ways to think about subtraction facts.
When the think-addition concept of subtraction is well developed, many children will use
that approach for all subtraction facts. (Notice that for division virtually everyone uses
a think-multiplication approach. Why?)
What may be most important is to listen to childrens thinking as they attempt to answer
subtraction facts that they have not yet mastered. If they are not using one of the
three ideas suggested here, it is a good bet that they are countingan efficient method.

The following cards were created as a resource for students and parents
to identify all the facts that fall under a particular strategy. These cards
can be placed in the front of center bags so that students and parents are
aware of the specific facts that they are practicing.

Doubles
Addition Facts
There are only 10 double facts. These facts are relatively easy to
learn and become a powerful way to learn many other facts. Examples of
double facts include: 5 + 5, 3 + 3, 6 + 6. Dice from board games are good
visuals to use to help students remember their double facts.

Addition Facts
Doubles + 1 facts include all combinations where one addend is one
more than the other. There are 18 of these facts. When students realize
that these are facts that have addends with a difference of 2 (1 + 2), (3 +
4), etc. they simply double the smaller addend and add 1.

Inside Doubles
Addition Facts
Inside doubles facts focus on facts that have 2 addends that are
separated by 2 numbers. Some examples are: (5 + 7), (4 + 6), (7 + 9). Once
the students are able to recognize these facts they are able to look at the
number that falls between the 2 addends and double it to find the answer.
For example: 5 + 7, the number that comes between the 2 numbers is 6.
The student doubles the number to find the answer ( 6 + 6 = 12)

Addition Facts
These facts all have at least one addend of 8 or 9. Once strategy
for these facts is to build onto the 8 or 9 and up to 10 and then add on the
rest. For 6 + 8, start with 8, then 2 more makes 10 and that leaves 4 more
for 14.
