Students will experience multiple strategies to add and subtract within 5 to develop fluency.

In this Khan Academy activity, students will demonstrate fluency with addition within 5.

This video was created by NCDPI. This video examines best practices and research related to developing computational fluency. Teaching strategies and tips are provided.

In this lesson the students will add 3 addends by using 3 beans inside of an egg carton marked with the numbers 1-12. The students will practice adding, using numbers from 1-12. They will record their addends and their final sum by doing multi-step addition. The recording sheet will help with the steps.  Finally the students will write about the mathematical strategy in their journals. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

For this activity, students work with a partner to roll a die and identify five frames that have the same amount.

This lesson uses the children's rhyme "Five Little Speckled Frogs" to demonstrate subtraction through acting out and with the use of manipulatives.

In this assessment students will look at how someone else solved an addition problem. They will problem solve to decide whether that is the only way to solve the problem. A rubric and an assessment task sheet are provided.

This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: Materials * Class white board and one marker * Paper and pencil for students * Materials such as counters or linker cubes * Number lines that go from 0...

This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: Materials * Double sided counters * Markers that are the same colors as the counters * Teacher-made “My Book of 5” (see below for detailed directions) ...

Students work in teams to build towers. Students add or remove blocks based on the Building Engineers (the teacher) directions to change the quantity of the blocks used and design of the towers built.

This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the Kindergarten Math content.

This resource accompanies our Rethink Kindergarten Math Operations & Algebraic Thinking unit. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning. 

This unit was created by the Rethink Education Content Development Team. This course is aligned to the NC Standards for Kindergarten Math for Operations in Algebraic Thinking.

In this lesson, students use objects and drawings to find how many are left.

In this lesson, students solve "take from with result" unknown expressions and equations using the minus sign with no unknown.

In this lesson, students represent subtraction story problems using objects, drawings, expressions, and equations.

This task encourages students to brainstorm and share the different strategies they can use to solve the problem. The purpose of this task is to help enhance students' ability to fluently add by assisting them in finding the most effective strategies to use when adding.

This kindergarten math unit contains 8 activities related to kindergarten appropriate number and operations; addition and subtraction.

Students represent subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds, acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions or equations.
