Find the value of each expression mentally.
The purpose of this activity is for students to identify the addition facts within 20 that they do not yet know from memory. Students write these sums on index cards, which they use throughout the section to build fluency. Students should store these cards to use again in an upcoming lesson. The number choices in this activity include some of the facts that students may still be working to recall from memory at this point in the school year. If desired, the inventory of sums that students complete at the beginning of the activity could be replaced with a list of all sums within 20 or a smaller set of sums that best fit the needs of students.
Find the value of each sum mentally.
Circle any sum you didn't recall right away.
Write each sum you circled on an index card.
Use the index cards to build fluency.
Spin and Find the Missing Number Spinners
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice finding unknown addends within 20. Students use spinners to determine the total and one of the addends. They write addition equations or subtraction equations to represent how they found the unknown addend. In the Synthesis, students connect different methods for finding the unknown addends mentally.
