What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students combine two small groups and find the total. They also take one part away from a total and use the matching addition fact to find what remains.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students accurately solve addition problems with totals no greater than 10. They use a known addition fact to solve the two matching subtraction facts without guessing.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may count both groups incorrectly or recount the first group instead of counting on. They may confuse subtraction with addition or miss how a subtraction fact comes from the same three numbers.
How to Assess It
- Give students: 6 + 3 = __, 9 − 6 = __, and 9 − 3 = __. Ask them to solve and draw counters for one equation.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs two-color counters to build 4 and 5, combine them, then separate the total to show both related subtraction facts.
Show 7 = 3 + 4 and ask, “What subtraction facts use these same three numbers, and how do you know?”
Play a fact-family triangle game where students draw three number cards, place them correctly, and say the matching addition and subtraction facts.
Set up a snack problem: 8 crackers are on a plate, 3 are eaten, and students find how many remain.
