Number Operations (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division)

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B3.1.2.4.1

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

  1. Model addition of 2-digit and 3-digit numbers within 1000 using base-ten objects (bundles of 100s, 10s and ones) or drawings on an addition frame.
  2. Apply at least two different personal strategies (e.g. counting on, splitting into hundreds/tens/ones, adding from the left, or using a number line) to solve addition problems within 1000.
  3. Record addition processes symbolically, both with and without an addition frame, showing clear steps.
  4. Explain and justify their chosen strategy to a partner, describing why their method works.
  5. Solve addition word problems set in everyday situations, selecting the strategy that suits the numbers involved.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

E.g. 1 Use objects (groups of 100s, 10s and ones) or drawings to model addition and subtraction of 1 to 3 digit numbers (with answers to 1000) and record the process symbolically, with and without a 100s frame.
"Addition frame" (Hundreds/Tens/Ones). The wide black-and-white table is arranged with horizontal divisions,...
The "Addition frame" (Hundreds/Tens/Ones). The wide black-and-white table is arranged with horizontal divisions, vertical divisions, open white space around the main marks.
 The "Addition frame" table (Hundreds / Tens / Ones, with a + in the second row) is set beside E.g. 1 and its words interleave with the exemplar's in the text layer; the figure shows it.
