Common Core Standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6: Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

Targeted Needs of Student:

Fluently adding and subtracting, kinesthetic way of working with numbers, multiplying and dividing numbers, developing number sense

Goal:

To provide students with practice adding and subtracting numbers

Materials Needed:

1.      Number boards on cardstock

2.      Problems printed on cards

3.      Bag for cards

Explanation/Summary:

Students take one number board and a set of cards and find a space in the classroom. They will find the cards that equal the numbers on the board through performing the operation that the card has on it.
