Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners continue to use the concept of addition and subtraction this week
Create a market scene where learners buy and sell different items in the community and use their understanding of the addition concept to combine
money or number of items and find out how many altogether/how many are left? Create different everyday situations and scaffold learners to add numbers. Let learners work in pairs and individually to solve problems in their exercise books.
