Barrett Basics

Print and cut. Have students compare the different objects in the picture and fill out the worksheet. this familiarizes students with math terminology.

Every teacher needs a supply list. Here is the one I have edited and use :)

After being introduced to the topic + and - 10 on a 100 chart I keep this poster presented for students to access and refer to.

I use this up on the front board with my students. This reminds them that when reading a number story or listening to an equation, the BIGGER number goes first in adding and last when subtracting. (I always keep the small number in the middle since it doesn't always matter with adding). Our math terms "fewer" and "more" are in there too to remind students during a number story if you hear "fewer" it is usually for a subtraction sentence and if you hear "more" it is usually an addition sentence.
