Facts & fluency

  • Addition & subtraction within 10 Adding puts groups together. Subtracting takes some away. Pictures like ten-frames help you see the answer.
  • Addition mad minute Work fast and left to right. Skip a hard one and come back; the clock does not wait.
  • Addition within 20 Make a ten first when you can. It turns hard facts like 9 + 6 into easy ones like 10 + 5.
  • Balancing equations The equal sign means both sides are the same amount, so check that they balance.
  • Fact families The three numbers in the roof are a family. Write all four facts they make together.
  • Missing addends Find the number that makes the equation true. Count up from the part you already know.
  • Number bonds The two parts always join together to make the whole.
  • Subtraction within 20 Think addition to subtract: for 13 − 8, ask what you add to 8 to make 13.
