Overview

2020 Arkansas Teacher of the Year, Joel Lookadoo, needs your help adding blocks. Can you help him find his total? The worksheet that accompanies this video provides students the opportunity to practice using manipulatives (or drawn representations of them) to solve addition and subtraction word problems.  

    Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 2

    MA19.2.1

    Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

    Unpacked Content

    UP:MA19.2.1

    Vocabulary

    • One-step word problems
    • Two-step word problems

    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • addition and subtraction strategies to solve one- and two-step word problems within a 100.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • represent quantities and operations (addition & subtraction) physically, pictorially, or symbolically.
    • strategically use a variety of representations to solve addition and subtraction word problem.
    • use informal and mathematical language to communicate the connections among addition and subtraction.
    • accurately compute sums and differences.
    • use symbols to represent unknown quantities in equations.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
    • addition is both putting together and adding to.
    • subtraction is taking apart, taking from, and comparisons.
    • mathematical problems can be solved using a variety of strategies, models, representations.
    • variables represent unknown quantities when representing mathematical situations algebraically.
    Mathematics (2019) Grade(s): 2

    MA19.2.14

    Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.

    Unpacked Content

    UP:MA19.2.14

    Vocabulary

    • Properties of operations

    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • strategies for finding sums and differences.
    • physical (manipulative) models and pictorial models (place value blocks, lines and dots, bundles and sticks, etc.) for representing numbers using place value concepts.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • use logical reasoning, place value concepts and vocabulary, and properties of numbers and operations to justify strategies for finding sums and differences.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
    • relationships between models of addition and subtraction problems and symbolic recordings of those models can be used to justify solutions and strategies.
