Addition

MA.1.AR.1.1
Materials Needed:

dice
dominos
snap cubes
frogs on a log
teddy bear counters
Our learning goals:
My goal for you is to apply properties of addition to find a sum
of three or more numbers.

You will be successful when:

❑I can use the associative property to add three or more numbers.
❑I can use the commutative property to add three or more numbers.
❑I can make the “make a ten” strategy when adding three or more numbers.
❑I can rearrange the addends to add three or more numbers more efficiently.
❑I can use “doubles” to add three or more numbers.
❑I can use manipulatives to model addition problems with three or more addends and
sum up to 20.
Skills Progression
The purpose of this benchmark is for students to explore addition
and think flexibly when it comes to adding three digit numbers
together such as rearranging addends, looking for doubles, making
ten, etc.
