Content descriptor extend and apply knowledge of addition and subtraction facts to 20 to develop efficient mental strategies for computation with larger numbers without a calculator

Elaborations

• • Elaboration partitioning using materials and part-part-whole diagrams to develop subtraction facts related to addition facts, such as 8 + 7 = 15 therefore, 15 \space–\space 7 = 8 and 15\space – \space 8 = 7
• • Elaboration using partitioning to develop and record facts systematically; for example, “How many ways can 12 monkeys be spread among 2 trees?”, 12 = 12 + 0, 12 = 11 + 1, 12 = 10 + 2, 12 = 9 + 3, …; explaining how they know they have found all possible partitions
• • Elaboration understanding basic addition and related subtraction facts and using extensions to these facts; for example, 6 + 6 = 12, 16 + 6 = 22, 6 + 7 = 13, 16 + 7 = 23, and 60 + 60 = 120, 600 + 600 = 1200
