What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students solve addition facts within 20 and use known sums to solve related subtraction facts. They apply a dependable strategy and record accurate equations.

What Mastery Looks Like

Students solve facts within 20 accurately using counters, drawings, counting on, or known facts. They use one addition fact to solve both related subtraction facts.

Common Misconceptions

Students may count the first addend again instead of counting on. They may subtract in the wrong order or fail to connect a subtraction fact to its matching addition fact.

How to Assess It

Give an exit ticket: Solve 9 + 6, then use that fact to solve 15 − 9 and 15 − 6. Ask students to show one strategy.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs two-color counters to build sums within 20, separate each total in two ways, and record the matching addition and subtraction equations.

  2. Ask, “How can 8 + 7 help you solve 15 − 8?” Have students draw and explain their thinking.

  3. Play Fact Family Match with cards showing an addition equation, its sum, and two related subtraction equations.

  4. Set up a snack shop with prices from 1 to 10 cents. Students buy two items, total the cost, and find change from 20 cents.
