Teacher Resources Considerations: Emphasize that this is an addition strategy, like the “count on” strategy in the previous lesson. Math vocabulary and a number line are provided in the student journal.
Steps: When you add, you move to the right on the number line.
1. Find the largest addend in the addition sentence on the number line. 2. Look at second addend and move that many times to the right to find the sum. 3. Record the number you land on as the sum.
Application of MPs: MP1:
How did you choose your starting addend?
MP2: What is a real life scenario you could apply? MP6: How can you use math vocabulary in your explanation?
/ *MP1: Make sense of the problem and persevere in solving it! *MP8: Find a strategy to help solve the problem. Directions: Use the number line to record the equations and find the sums.
