Mrs. Balde’s
class has 20
students, the
tree door has
7 branches.
How many
more
branches
would we
need for
everyone in
the class to
have a
branch?
What’s the easiest way to get to the number of branches needed?

Do you think drawing a picture would help?

Could you use tally marks to keep count?

There are 7
class jobs. If
Mrs. Balde
makes 9 more
jobs, how
many class
jobs would
there be?
Could you use the snap cubes to help you?

Would the number get bigger or smaller?

There are 20
students in
Mrs. Balde’s
class. If the
desks were
placed 5 in a
row, how
many rows
would there
be in the
class?
Should you walk around to see how the desks are placed now?

Would counting by 5’s help?

There are 16
cubbies and 2
students. I
want to give
each student
an equal
amount of
cubbies. How
many cubbies
do they each
get?
Could you find the middle of the shelf?

See if the math manipulatives help you.

 e. Understand addition and subtraction number combinations using
strategies such as counting on, counting back, doubles and making tens.
