Learning Goals
Students will be able to illustrate a visual representation of the problem.
Learning Domain: Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Standard: Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
Cluster: Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from
