Basic Addition: Building fluency with fundamental addition facts
- Recognize the numbers to add
- Recall the addition fact
- Provide the answer quickly
- Verify correctness
We have 2 and 3 to add
2 + 3 = 5
Count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
5
• Automatic Recall: Instant recognition of facts
• Fact Fluency: Quick and accurate responses
• Verification: Double-checking answers
Doubles Facts: Mastering addition of identical numbers
4 + 4 is a doubles fact
4 + 4 = 8
Count by twos: 2, 4, 6, 8
8
• Doubles Facts: 4 + 4 = 8
• Pattern Recognition: Identifying doubles
• Automatic Recall: Instant fact retrieval
Make Ten Strategy: Adding to reach the benchmark number 10
7 + 3 makes 10
7 and 3 are number partners for 10
Count: 7, 8, 9, 10
10
• Number Bonds: 7 + 3 = 10
• Complementary Numbers: Partners that make 10
• Instant Recognition: Automatic fact recall
