How to help with this skill

First graders use drawings, objects, and number lines to understand small numbers and explain their thinking. Focus on accuracy before speed.

  • Start with the larger addend and count on, or group numbers by place value.
  • Line up tens, hundreds, and ones when adding multi-digit numbers.
  • Check by subtracting one addend from the total.

Try this: Ask: Which two amounts are being combined? Draw a quick model if needed.
