Students need to learn and practice math fact strategies rather than just memorizing the facts. These worksheets will allow students to practice math strategies and become more fluent in adding and subtracting. Each strategy includes an addition and subtraction page. This will also allow students to see how addition and subtraction facts can be compared using strategies. This includes: zero facts doubles doubles plus 1 9 rule ten rule tens partners count up 1,2,3

Students need to learn to sort and identify strategies to solve math facts. This set allows students to study a strategy, practice and add new strategies to distinguish between. In my classroom the students start with one strategy and continue to add more pages to their sort bag until they have one large sort of many different strategies. Laminate the strategy sorts so that students can speed sort until they understand the strategy and then students prove they understand by using their explanati

Fact Triangles add so much value to understanding addition and subtraction and helping students to become fluent. Students make this book while using counters or block cubes to find ways to make a number. For example: In order to make the number 4 there are three different ways to make it. Students will explore and discover the three ways are: 4+0 3+1 2+2 After discovering the patterns on their own with this book, a classroom chart is made to really see what the patterns are. Then this will le
