Join us for a fun and engaging pumpkin patch adventure where we practice missing addend and part-part-whole problems! This video is perfect for kindergarten and first-grade students learning to find the unknown number in an addition equation.
This video helps students develop a foundational understanding of number bonds and addition and subtraction relationships. The story-based format uses real-world examples and counting on strategies to help students visualize and solve problems like:
- 2 + ? = 8
- 3 + ? = 7
- 4 + ? = 5
This is an excellent resource for math centers, small group instruction, or as a whole-class mini-lesson. The interactive format encourages students to actively participate, making it a great tool for a scaffolded introduction to this important mathematical concept.
Common Core Standards addressed in this video:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.1: Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.2: Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.4: 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.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.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.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.B.4: Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 – 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8.
