Addition and Subtraction Strategies in First Grade
How to Become a More Efficient Mathematician
11stst Grade Expectations Grade Expectations Master a number of different addition/subtraction strategies.
Choose the strategies that work best for him/her and for the particular problem.
Be flexible with strategies and choose ones that are efficient.
Check work with another strategy.
Full ModelFull Model
Counting objects, counting on fingers, drawing a picture
Show your work by Drawing all for addition
Taking away objects, taking away fingers, crossing off in a picture
Show your work by Drawing all and crossing off for subtraction
Prompt: How can you use a picture to solve this problem?

and/or counting to solve this problem?and/or counting to solve this problem?
3 + 8 = ___
8 – 2 = ___
Counting On/Counting Counting On/Counting BackBack
Adding and subtracting are like counting up and back
Start with the larger number and count on or back (“hop”/”jump” forward or back)
Efficient strategy for solving single-digit addition and subtraction problems
Show your work with a number line or drawing a picture of the number in your head and dots
Using Facts We Know (Fluency)Using Facts We Know (Fluency)
Combinations of 10
6 + 3 + 4 = ____ I know 6 + 4 = 10 and 10 + 3 = 13
Doubles and Near Doubles
8 + 7 = _____ I know 7 + 7 = 14, so one more is 15
Fact Families – using what we know about addition to help with subtraction
10 – 7 = ____ I know 7 + 3 = 10, so 10 – 7 = 3
Fluency is so important because it is the foundation to solve more difficult problems.
Show your work with words and equations.

into helpful parts to solve this problem?into helpful parts to solve this problem?
9 + 7 = ___
Keep One/Break OneKeep One/Break One Importance of flexibility with numbers, knowing how to break numbers
apart in multiple ways.
Show your work with number bonds and/or equations.
Break one number into two parts so that you can make a landmark number
(e.g., 10 or a multiple of 10)
9 + 7 = ____
18 – 9 = ____
36 + 8 = ____

36 + 22 = ___
Using Place ValueUsing Place Value
Base 10 Model: Using or drawing base 10 blocks
Expanded Form: Breaking numbers into 10s &1s
30 + 6
20 + 2
50 + 8 = 58
Keep One/Break One: Adding multiples of 10 first
36 + 20 = 56 56 + 2 = 58
Show your work with base 10 drawings and/or equations
36 + 22 = ____
