Unit 6 Overview:

In this Math unit, students will be introduced to the concepts of addition and subtraction by using a variety of representations such as drawings, sounds, acting out situations, verbal explanations and numerical expressions. It is important to share real life story problems. (Example- You are at a store and you buy 3 green apples and 2 red apples. How many apples do you have in all?) Math tools you have at home (noodles, pieces of cereal, beans, etc.) are helpful as students try to act out and solve problems.

• Students will use actions, objects, fingers and mental images to model and solve real world addition and subtraction story situations for numbers up to 5. (K.OA.A.1)
• Students will use objects, drawings, and/or equations to model and solve addition and subtraction word problems within 5 using putting together, adding to, taking apart, and taking from story structures. (K.OA.A.2)
• Students will model decompositions of numbers up to 5 using objects, sets, and drawings. (K.OA.A.3)
