Learning objectives

Translate number stories into operations and visual models.
Use number lines, arrays and equal groups accurately.
Solve and check one-step and multi-step problems.
Use estimation to judge whether an answer is reasonable.

Key formulas

Addition: start + change = total

Subtraction: whole − part = difference

Multiplication: groups × amount in each group = total

Division: total ÷ number of groups = amount in each group

Try these experiments

Set 29 + 18 and split the jump into 10 and 8.
Compare 52 − 19 by counting back and counting up.
Build 6 groups of 4, then reverse it with division.
Change one number in a two-step problem and predict the result first.

Questions for exploration

When is an array clearer than repeated addition?
How can an estimate reveal a place-value mistake?
Why must each step in a multi-step problem be justified?

Real-world applications

Shopping totals, sharing supplies, travel distances, recipes, schedules and classroom inventory all use the same solve cycle: understand, represent, calculate and check.
