Hello, Grade 1 Families, 

Learning Intention: I can add and subtract within 20. I can solve problems using addition and subtraction. 

We have been learning about different symbols we use in math such as +, - and =. Did you know = means "the same as"? In our learning, we have used many tools to help us with addition and subtraction. Students have been using manipulatives like the counters in the pictures below, number lines ("It gives you the answer!" ~AW), tens frames, crossing out images and colouring in pictures. We are working on being flexible with our numbers and finding efficient ways to count such as combining numbers to make 5 or 10 as it is easier to work with those numbers. (Ex: 1+4+3 can be turned into 5+3). Find ways to practice these skills at home to help build accuracy.
