Mental Addition Strategies Posters
This colourful and detailed set of posters outlines nine common strategies used to solve mental addition problems.
- Turnarounds
- Make Ten
- Looking for Tens
- Use Ten
- Add Ten
- Doubles
- Near Doubles
- Split Strategy
- Jump Strategy
They are designed to be used as a point of reference to assist students when tackling addition problems. A fantastic diplay for any lower primary school classroom.
Learning goals
- 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 a range of mental and written strategies to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
- We are learning to read, write, name and order two-digit numbers to at least 120 using concrete materials, hundred charts and number lines.
- 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.
- We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
- We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.
