What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students add and subtract within 1,000 using concrete models or drawings and place-value strategies. They connect the model and strategy to a written representation with words, pictures, or numbers.

What Mastery Looks Like

The student solves 436 + 287 or 652 - 318 with a base-ten model or drawing. The written steps match the hundreds, tens, and ones shown in the model.

Common Misconceptions

Students may record an answer that does not match their model. They may align digits incorrectly or exchange units without showing the place-value relationship.

How to Assess It

Ask students to solve 473 - 258 using a drawing or base-ten model and a matching written representation. Require an explanation of each exchange.

Lesson moves

Ways to Teach It

  1. Model three-digit addition and subtraction with base-ten blocks, then sketch and label the same exchanges on paper.

  2. Ask students to explain how their written steps show the hundreds, tens, and ones in the model.

  3. Play model-method match with base-ten drawings, equations, and written strategies for calculations within 1,000.

  4. Track inventory added to or removed from a collection of fewer than 1,000 items using a model and written method.
