With Unknowns in All Positions

(CCSS Glossary, Table 1). There are three types of addition and subtraction problems: Result Unknown, Change Unknown, and Start Unknown.

Examples:

There are 9 students on the playground. Then 8 more students showed up. How many students are there now?

9 + 8 = ______

There are 9 students on the playground. Some more students showed up. There are now 17 students. How many students came?

9 + _____ = 17

Here are some students on the playground. Then 8 more students came. There are now 17 students. How many students were on the playground at the beginning?

_____ + 8 = 17

Results Unknown

Change Unknown

Start Unknown

Use the addition symbol (+) to represent joining situations, the subtraction symbol (-) to represent separating situations, and the equal sign (=) to represent a relationship regarding quantity between one side of the equation and the other.

The study of word problems in grade 1 (1.OA.1, 1.OA.2) can be coordinated with students’ growing proficiency with addition and subtraction within 20 (1.OA.6) and their growing. Word problems can also be linked to students’ growing understanding of properties of addition and the relationship between addition and subtraction. For example, put together/take apart problems with addend unknown can show subtraction as finding an unknown addend.

1.OA.1

Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.

1.OA.1 Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

1.OA.1 Daily Discourse

Problem of the Day- Every day start with a number story from http://sdesa.k12.sd.us/esa5/docs/sdcounts/SDCountsMathProblemBooklet.pdf

Make sure you choose a variety of

problems with the Result Unknown,
problems with a Change Unknown,
problems with a Start Unknown.

Literature is a great connection and fun way to incorporate problem solving in real world context.
