options: Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).

Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.

Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.

Fluently add and subtract within 5.

Required Preparation
Materials to Gather
Number cards 0–10
Materials to Copy
Blackline Masters
Check It Off Stage 2 Recording Sheet

Narrative
Students take turns picking two number cards (0–10) to make and find the value of a subtraction expression. Students check off the number that represents the value of the difference (0–10) and then write the subtraction expression on the recording sheet.
Variation:
Students can choose whether to add or subtract after picking two number cards.
