This activity can be given to the above level kids that finish early. After teaching that addends produce a sum, you can have kids use the sum to find addends. The workmat is included for those tactile learners.

Use these problems along with the problem solving template that I have created. It makes for easy and accurate assessments. Be sure to review/ reteach/ teach the importance of identifying the whole or the part based on information. This will help them with algebraic thinking crucial to common core.
