Adding and Subtracting Within 20

Lesson 6

Math

Unit 1

2nd Grade

Lesson 6 of 15

Objective


Solve unknown addend equations within 20.

Student-Facing

I can solve equations to find the missing number.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • 2.OA.B.2 — Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. See standard 1.OA.6 for a list of mental strategies.

Foundational Standards

  • 1.OA.C.6

Criteria for Success


  1. Understand the composition of a missing addend equation.
  2. Identify the sum for the equation.
  3. Recognize and use patterns of ten to add on with given addend. 

Tips for Teachers


Instead of using subtraction to solve missing addends equation types, introducing students to make ten strategies gives students additional ways to be flexible in their thinking. There will be times when relating to subtraction may make sense to them but for this lesson ensure students are at least exposed to this strategy. 

Lesson Materials
