Addition and Subtraction Story Problem Cards

The Addition and Subtraction Story Problem Cards have a wide range of uses. Use them as daily class challenges, numeracy rotations, inspiration for think boards and so much more. There are 3 differentiated sheets so all students can feel success in their learning.

Use these cards as group or individual challenges or inspiration for think boards.
 

Learning goals

  • We are learning to use strategies for adding small groups of numbers, e.g. visual displays or concrete materials.
  • We are learning to read, write, model and represent numbers to 100 in different ways and on number lines.
  • We are learning to use a range of strategies, to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
  • We are learning to recognise Australian coins according to their value.
  • We are learning to use counting or subitising strategies for addition and subtraction in everyday role-play situations.
  • We are learning to use concrete materials or subitising to represent everyday situations that involve equal sharing and grouping.
  • We are learning to add and subtract numbers within 20, using a variety of strategies, e.g. counting on, counting back, partitioning, subitising and part-part whole knowledge of numbers to 10 and to use the language of 'plus' and 'minus' in story problems.
  • We are learning to model problems involving addition and subtraction, including simple whole-dollar money problems, in practical role-play situations.
