Results
Okay, here are the materials to teach a 6th-grade student about fluently adding and subtracting within 100 using various strategies.
1. Example Texts (One for each strategy type)
Here are three examples, each highlighting a different strategy:
Example 1: Strategy based on Place Value (Breaking Apart Numbers)
Problem: 58 + 37 = ?
Explanation Text: "Think about 58 and 37 in terms of tens and ones. 58 is like 5 tens (50) and 8 ones (8). 37 is like 3 tens (30) and 7 ones (7). To add them, let's add the tens together first: 50 + 30 = 80. Then, let's add the ones together: 8 + 7 = 15. Now, combine those results: 80 + 15. We know 15 is 1 ten and 5 ones. So, 80 + 10 + 5 = 90 + 5 = 95. So, 58 + 37 = 95."
Problem: 72 - 25 = ?
Explanation Text: "Let's subtract 25 from 72 using place value. We can break down the number we are subtracting (25) into its tens and ones: 20 and 5. First, subtract the tens from 72: 72 - 20 = 52. Now, subtract the ones from that result: 52 - 5. You can think of this as counting back 5 from 52: 51, 50, 49, 48, 47. Or, you might know 12 - 5 is 7, so 52 - 5 is 47. So, 72 - 25 = 47."
Example 2: Strategy based on Properties of Operations (Making Friendly Numbers / Compensation)
Problem: 49 + 23 = ?
Explanation Text: "Sometimes, it's easier to add if one number is 'friendlier,' like a multiple of 10. Look at 49 – it's very close to 50. Let's pretend we are adding 50 instead of 49. 50 + 23 is easy: 5 tens + 2 tens is 7 tens, so 70, plus the 3 ones makes 73. But wait, we added 50, which is 1 more than 49. So, our answer (73) is 1 too big. We need to adjust by taking that extra 1 away: 73 - 1 = 72. So, 49 + 23 = 72."
Problem: 65 - 18 = ?
Explanation Text: "Subtracting 18 can be a bit tricky. But 18 is close to 20, which is easier to subtract. Let's subtract 20 from 65 first: 65 - 20 = 45. Now, think about what we did. We were supposed to subtract 18, but we subtracted 20 instead. We subtracted 2 more than we needed to (because 20 is 2 more than 18). So, our current answer (45) is 2 too small. We need to add that 2 back: 45 + 2 = 47. So, 65 - 18 = 47."
Example 3: Strategy based on the Relationship Between Addition and Subtraction (Thinking Addition for Subtraction / Counting Up)
Problem: 83 - 56 = ?
Explanation Text: "Instead of taking 56 away from 83, let's think about how much we need to add to 56 to get up to 83. This is like finding the difference by counting up. Start at 56. How much to get to the next friendly ten (60)? 56 + 4 = 60. Now, how much to get from 60 to 80? 60 + 20 = 80. Finally, how much to get from 80 to our target number, 83? 80 + 3 = 83. Now, add up the amounts we jumped: 4 + 20 + 3. 4 + 20 is 24, plus 3 is 27. So, the difference between 56 and 83 is 27. That means 83 - 56 = 27."
2. Lesson Plan
Subject: Mathematics
Grade Level: 6th Grade (Review/Fluency Building)
Topic: Fluently Adding and Subtracting within 100 using Strategies
Time Allotment: 45-60 minutes
Learning Objective: Students will be able to accurately and efficiently add and subtract numbers within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Materials:
Whiteboard or projector
Markers or pens
Example Texts (from above)
Lecture notes (or the 1000-word lecture text)
Slideshow (optional, can use whiteboard instead)
Quiz handout (20 questions)
Answer Key with Explanations
Scratch paper for student
Procedure:
Introduction (5 minutes)
Hook: "Imagine you have $75 and spend $28. How much is left? Or you save $45 one week and $38 the next. How much total? Being quick and accurate with adding and subtracting numbers up to 100 is super useful in everyday life! Today, we're going to become pros at doing this without always needing a calculator or counting on our fingers."
Objective: State the learning objective clearly. "Our goal today is to learn and practice different smart ways, or strategies, to add and subtract numbers within 100 quickly and correctly."
Prior Knowledge Check: Briefly ask: "What does 'place value' mean? What's the opposite of addition?"
Instruction & Modeling (20-25 minutes)
Strategy 1: Place Value (Breaking Apart)
Explain the concept of breaking numbers into tens and ones.
Use the example text for 58 + 37. Model the thinking process on the board/slide. Emphasize adding tens then ones.
Use the example text for 72 - 25. Model breaking down the second number and subtracting in parts. Discuss potential regrouping if needed (though the example avoids explicit borrowing).
Strategy 2: Properties of Operations (Friendly Numbers/Compensation)
Explain the idea of adjusting numbers to make calculations easier (e.g., making a number end in 0).
Use the example text for 49 + 23. Model adjusting 49 to 50 and then compensating.
Use the example text for 65 - 18. Model adjusting 18 to 20 and then compensating. Emphasize tracking whether you added/subtracted too much or too little.
Strategy 3: Relationship between Addition and Subtraction (Counting Up)
Explain that subtraction finds the difference, which can be found by adding up from the smaller number.
Use the example text for 83 - 56. Model the "jumps" on a number line or visually on the board (56 -> 60 -> 80 -> 83). Add the jumps.
Flexibility: Emphasize that different strategies work better for different problems and different people. The goal is to have multiple tools.
Guided Practice (10 minutes)
Present 2-3 problems on the board (e.g., 67 + 25, 91 - 38, 42 + 19).
Ask the student: "Which strategy could we use here? Why?"
Work through the problems together, encouraging the student to explain their thinking using one of the learned strategies. Provide prompts and feedback.
Independent Practice / Assessment (10-15 minutes)
Distribute the 20-question quiz.
Instruct the student to solve the problems using any strategy they find efficient and comfortable. Encourage them to show work or make notes if it helps.
Circulate and observe, providing minimal assistance (clarify instructions, not solve).
Closure & Review (5 minutes)
Briefly review the three main types of strategies discussed (Place Value, Friendly Numbers/Compensation, Counting Up).
Ask: "Which strategy did you find easiest or most helpful today? Why?"
Reiterate the importance of fluency (speed + accuracy) and encourage continued practice.
Collect the quiz for review (can go over answers immediately or later).
Differentiation:
Support: Provide manipulatives (like base-ten blocks), use a number line more explicitly, focus on just one or two strategies initially. Use smaller numbers first.
Challenge: Introduce problems with three addends, numbers closer to 100 requiring more complex regrouping/compensation, or word problems requiring the setup of the equation first.
3. Lecture (Approx. 1000 words)
(Start with a friendly greeting)
"Hey there! Today, we're going to dive into something really important in math: becoming super fluent with adding and subtracting numbers up to 100. What does 'fluent' mean? It means being able to do it quickly, accurately, and confidently, without getting stuck or having to count every single thing out on your fingers. Think about riding a bike – when you first learned, you were wobbly and slow, right? But with practice, you became fluent – you could ride smoothly without even thinking about every little movement. That's what we want for adding and subtracting within 100.
Why is this important? Well, imagine you're at the store. You have $50, and you want to buy something for $28 and something else for $15. Can you quickly figure out if you have enough? Or maybe you're tracking points in a game, or figuring out how many minutes until your favorite show starts. Being able to add and subtract comfortably in your head or quickly on paper makes all these things much easier.
Now, you probably already know the basics of addition and subtraction. But sometimes, problems like 58 + 37 or 92 - 45 can seem a bit tricky. The good news is, there are smart ways – strategies – to tackle these problems that make them much simpler. We're going to focus on three main types of strategies today: using place value, using properties of operations (like making friendly numbers), and using the connection between addition and subtraction.
Strategy 1: Unleash the Power of Place Value!
Remember place value? It's the idea that the position of a digit in a number tells you its value. In the number 63, the '6' isn't just six, it's six tens, or 60. The '3' is three ones, or 3. This is super helpful for adding and subtracting.
Let's try adding 58 + 37 using place value.
We can break both numbers down into their tens and ones.
58 is 50 (5 tens) + 8 (8 ones).
37 is 30 (3 tens) + 7 (7 ones).
Now, let's group the tens together and the ones together. It's like sorting LEGO bricks by color before building!
Add the tens: 50 + 30 = 80. Easy peasy.
Add the ones: 8 + 7 = 15. Got it.
Finally, combine these results: 80 + 15.
Hmm, 15 has a ten in it! 15 is the same as 10 + 5. So we have 80 + 10 + 5.
80 + 10 is 90, and 90 + 5 is 95.
So, 58 + 37 = 95! Breaking it down made it manageable chunks.
Now let's try subtraction with place value, say 72 - 25.
Sometimes, breaking both
numbers down for subtraction can get tricky if you need to 'borrow' or
'regroup'. An easier way using place value for subtraction is often to
break down only the number you are subtracting (the 25).
25 is 20 (2 tens) and 5 (5 ones).
Let's subtract the tens first: Take 20 away from 72. 72 - 20 = 52. (Think: 7 tens minus 2 tens is 5 tens, keep the 2 ones).
Now, we still need to subtract the ones. We take the result from the last step (52) and subtract the 5 ones: 52 - 5.
You
might count back: 51, 50, 49, 48, 47. Or maybe you know that 52 is 50 +
2, and you think 50 - 5 is 45, plus the 2 gives 47. Or maybe you think
12 - 5 = 7, so 52 - 5 must end in 7, which gives 47.
Either way, 72 - 25 = 47. We did it in two simpler steps!
Strategy 2: Making Friends with Numbers (Properties of Operations & Compensation)
Sometimes, numbers are almost easy. Like 49 – it's so close to 50! Or 18 is close to 20. We can use this to our advantage. This involves using properties of operations (like the fact you can add numbers in any order) and a technique called compensation (making an adjustment).
Let's try 49 + 23.
49 is just 1 less than 50. Adding 50 is usually easier. Let's pretend we're doing 50 + 23.
50 + 23 = 73. (5 tens + 2 tens = 7 tens, plus 3 ones).
Okay, that was fast. But remember, we added 50, which was 1 more
than the 49 we were supposed to add. So, our answer of 73 is 1 too big.
We need to compensate, or adjust, by taking that extra 1 away.
73 - 1 = 72.
So, 49 + 23 = 72. We used a 'friendly' number (50) and then fixed it at the end.
This works for subtraction too! Let's try 65 - 18.
Subtracting 18... meh. But 18 is close to 20. Subtracting 20 is easier!
Let's do 65 - 20 first. 65 - 20 = 45. (6 tens minus 2 tens is 4 tens, keep the 5 ones).
Now, think: We were supposed to subtract 18, but we actually subtracted 20. We took away more than we needed to. How much more? The difference between 20 and 18 is 2. So, we subtracted 2 too many.
Our answer of 45 is therefore 2 too small. We need to compensate by adding that 2 back.
45 + 2 = 47.
So, 65 - 18 = 47. Again, we used a friendly number (20) and adjusted.
Another way to use properties is for problems with more than two numbers, like 17 + 25 + 3. You know you can add in any order (that's the commutative property!). Notice that 17 + 3 makes a nice round 20. So, you can rearrange: (17 + 3) + 25 = 20 + 25 = 45. Look for pairs that make tens!
Strategy 3: Flipping It Around (Relationship Between Addition and Subtraction)
Addition and subtraction are opposites, like turning a light switch on and off. They undo each other. This relationship is super powerful for solving subtraction problems. Every subtraction problem has related addition facts. For example, if 10 - 4 = 6, then we know 4 + 6 = 10 and 6 + 4 = 10. This is sometimes called a 'fact family'.
How can we use this? Let's look at 83 - 56 = ?.
Instead of thinking "take 56 away from 83," we can ask, "What do I need to add to 56 to get to 83?" We're finding the difference by counting up. This often feels easier, especially if regrouping looks complicated.
Let's start at 56 and make jumps towards 83, aiming for friendly numbers along the way.
From 56, the next nice ten is 60. How far is that? 56 to 60 is a jump of 4. (Write down 4).
Now
we're at 60. We want to get to 83. Let's jump to the nearest ten below
83, which is 80. How far is it from 60 to 80? That's a jump of 20. (Write down 20).
Now we're at 80. We just need to get to 83. How far is that? 80 to 83 is a jump of 3. (Write down 3).
We made it to 83! Now, we just need to add up the sizes of our jumps: 4 + 20 + 3.
4 + 20 = 24. 24 + 3 = 27.
The total distance we 'jumped' or added is 27. That means the difference between 56 and 83 is 27.
So, 83 - 56 = 27. We turned a tricky subtraction into a series of simple additions!
Putting It All Together: Flexibility is Key
We've looked at three big strategy types:
Place Value (breaking numbers apart)
Friendly Numbers / Compensation (adjusting and fixing)
Counting Up (using addition for subtraction)
Which one is best? There's no single answer! The 'best' strategy often depends on the specific numbers in the problem and what you find easiest and quickest.
For 50 - 25, place value might be fastest.
For 61 - 59, counting up (59 to 60 is 1, 60 to 61 is 1, total 2) is probably way faster than trying to regroup.
For 39 + 45, making 39 into 40 (friendly number) might be slick.
The goal is to have all these tools in your mathematical toolbox. When you see a problem, take a split second to think, "Which strategy looks like it will work well here?" The more you practice recognizing which strategy fits which problem, the more fluent you'll become.
Fluency comes from practice. Just like shooting baskets or playing a musical instrument, the more you do it, the better and faster you get. So, try these strategies out. Don't be afraid to try one, and if it feels awkward, try another! The more comfortable you are with these methods, the more confident you'll be with numbers, and the easier math will feel, not just today, but in all the grades to come. Ready to practice?"

Answer Key & Explanations
34 + 25 = 59
Explanation (Place Value): 30+20=50, 4+5=9. 50+9=59.
58 + 19 = 77
Explanation (Friendly Numbers): Treat 19 as 20. 58+20=78. Since 20 is 1 more than 19, subtract 1. 78-1=77.
72 - 31 = 41
Explanation (Place Value): 70-30=40, 2-1=1. 40+1=41. (Or 72-30=42, 42-1=41).
90 - 45 = 45
Explanation (Relationship/Fact Family): Think 45 + ? = 90. 45+45=90.
47 + 36 = 83
Explanation (Place Value): 40+30=70, 7+6=13. 70+13=83.
65 - 28 = 37
Explanation (Counting Up): 28 to 30 is 2. 30 to 60 is 30. 60 to 65 is 5. Total: 2+30+5 = 37.
29 + 54 = 83
Explanation (Friendly Numbers): Treat 29 as 30. 30+54=84. Since 30 is 1 more than 29, subtract 1. 84-1=83.
81 - 17 = 64
Explanation (Friendly Numbers): Subtract 20 instead of 17. 81-20=61. Since we subtracted 3 too many (20-17=3), add 3 back. 61+3=64.
15 + 65 = 80
Explanation (Place Value): 10+60=70, 5+5=10. 70+10=80. (Also notice 5+5 makes a ten).
77 - 39 = 38
Explanation (Counting Up): 39 to 40 is 1. 40 to 70 is 30. 70 to 77 is 7. Total: 1+30+7 = 38. (Or Friendly Number: 77-40=37. Add 1 back = 38).
43 + 48 = 91
Explanation (Friendly Numbers): Treat 48 as 50. 43+50=93. Since 50 is 2 more than 48, subtract 2. 93-2=91.
100 - 53 = 47
Explanation (Counting Up): 53 to 60 is 7. 60 to 100 is 40. Total: 7+40=47.
26 + 37 + 14 = 77
Explanation (Properties - Rearrange): Notice 26+14 makes a friendly number. (26+14)+37 = 40+37 = 77.
88 - 62 = 26
Explanation (Place Value): 80-60=20, 8-2=6. 20+6=26. (Or 88-60=28, 28-2=26).
56 + 20 = 76
Explanation (Place Value - Adding Tens): 5 tens + 2 tens = 7 tens. Keep the 6 ones. 76.
94 - 15 = 79
Explanation (Place Value - Break Apart Subtrahend): 94-10 = 84. 84-5 = 79.
38 + 57 = 95
Explanation (Place Value): 30+50=80, 8+7=15. 80+15=95.
70 - 26 = 44
Explanation (Counting Up): 26 to 30 is 4. 30 to 70 is 40. Total: 4+40=44.
63 + 27 = 90
Explanation (Place Value): 60+20=80, 3+7=10. 80+10=90. (Notice 3+7 makes a ten).
85 - 49 = 36
Explanation (Friendly Numbers): Subtract 50 instead of 49. 85-50=35. Since we subtracted 1 too many (50-49=1), add 1 back. 35+1=36.
5. Slideshow with Speaker Notes
(Note: This is a text representation. Actual slides would have titles, bullet points, and possibly simple graphics.)
Slide 1: Title Slide
Content:
Super Strategies for Adding & Subtracting!
Becoming Fluent within 100
[Your Name/Class Name]
Speaker Notes: "Welcome! Today we're going to become math ninjas with adding and subtracting numbers up to 100. Our goal is 'fluency' - that means being fast, accurate, and confident!"
Slide 2: Why Be Fluent?
Content:
Real-life uses: Money, time, games, scores!
Makes bigger math problems easier later on.
Builds math confidence!
Goal: Solve problems quickly AND correctly.
Speaker Notes: "Why bother getting fast at this? Think about shopping, playing games, or even cooking. You often need to quickly add or subtract in your head. Getting good at this now makes future math, like working with bigger numbers or fractions, much easier. It's all about building a strong foundation."
Slide 3: Strategy 1: Place Value Power!
Content:
Break numbers into Tens and Ones.
Example (Addition): 58 + 37
58 = 50 + 8
37 = 30 + 7
Add Tens: 50 + 30 = 80
Add Ones: 8 + 7 = 15
Combine: 80 + 15 = 95
Speaker Notes: "Our first strategy uses what we know about tens and ones. Let's take 58 + 37. We can split 58 into 5 tens (50) and 8 ones. And 37 into 3 tens (30) and 7 ones. Now, group the tens: 50 plus 30 is 80. Group the ones: 8 plus 7 is 15. Finally, add those results: 80 plus 15. Since 15 is 1 ten and 5 ones, we have 80 + 10 + 5, which gives us 95!"
Slide 4: Strategy 1: Place Value (Subtraction)
Content:
Break down the number you SUBTRACT.
Example (Subtraction): 72 - 25
Break down 25 into 20 and 5.
Subtract Tens first: 72 - 20 = 52
Subtract Ones next: 52 - 5 = 47
Speaker Notes: "For subtraction, it's often easiest to break down the second number. For 72 minus 25, break 25 into 20 and 5. First, take away the tens: 72 minus 20 is 52. Then, take away the ones from that result: 52 minus 5 is 47. Two simpler steps!"
Slide 5: Strategy 2: Make Friendly Numbers!
Content:
Adjust numbers to make them easier (like multiples of 10).
Then, COMPENSATE (adjust your answer).
Example (Addition): 49 + 23
Think: 49 is close to 50 (1 more).
Calculate: 50 + 23 = 73
Compensate: Added 1 too many, so subtract 1. 73 - 1 = 72.
Speaker Notes: "Some numbers are almost 'friendly' – like 49 is almost 50. Let's use that for 49 + 23. Let's pretend it's 50 + 23, which is 73. Easy! But wait, we added 50 instead of 49, so we added 1 too many. We need to fix, or 'compensate', by taking that extra 1 away from our answer. 73 minus 1 is 72. So 49 + 23 = 72."
Slide 6: Strategy 2: Friendly Numbers (Subtraction)
Content:
Example (Subtraction): 65 - 18
Think: 18 is close to 20 (2 more).
Calculate: 65 - 20 = 45
Compensate: Subtracted 2 too many, so add 2 back. 45 + 2 = 47.
Speaker Notes: "Same idea for subtraction. For 65 minus 18, let's use 20 instead of 18 because it's friendlier. 65 minus 20 is 45. Now, we subtracted 20, but should have only subtracted 18. We subtracted 2 more than needed. So our answer (45) is 2 too small. We compensate by adding 2 back. 45 plus 2 is 47. So 65 - 18 = 47."
Slide 7: Strategy 3: Flip It! (Addition for Subtraction)
Content:
Think: "What do I add to get there?" (Counting Up)
Find the difference by adding in jumps.
Example: 83 - 56 = ? --> Think: 56 + ? = 83
Jump 1: 56 --> 60 (Jump = +4)
Jump 2: 60 --> 80 (Jump = +20)
Jump 3: 80 --> 83 (Jump = +3)
Total Jumps: 4 + 20 + 3 = 27. So, 83 - 56 = 27.
Speaker Notes: "Subtraction is just finding the difference. We can find that difference by starting at the smaller number and counting up! For 83 minus 56, let's start at 56 and see how far we need to go to reach 83. Let's jump to friendly spots. From 56 to the next ten (60) is 4. From 60 to 80 is 20. From 80 to 83 is 3. Now add up our jumps: 4 plus 20 plus 3 equals 27. That's our answer! 83 minus 56 is 27."
Slide 8: Which Strategy to Use?
Content:
Place Value: Good for most problems, clear steps.
Friendly Numbers: Great when numbers are close to tens (like 19, 28, 31, 59).
Counting Up: Excellent for subtraction, especially when numbers are close together (e.g., 71-68) or when regrouping looks messy.
YOU CHOOSE! The best strategy is the one that works best for YOU and the specific problem.
Speaker Notes: "So we have these three great tools: Place Value, Friendly Numbers, and Counting Up. Which one should you use? It depends! Sometimes one is clearly faster. If you see 49, maybe think Friendly Numbers. If you see 83 - 79, Counting Up is super fast. Place value works well generally. The amazing part is, you get to choose! Practice will help you see which tool fits best."
Slide 9: Practice Time!
Content:
Let's try a few together:
67 + 25 = ?
91 - 38 = ?
42 + 19 = ?
(Space to work them out)
Speaker Notes: "Okay, let's try a few problems together. Look at 67 + 25. Which strategy might work well here? (Pause for student input, discuss options like Place Value: 60+20=80, 7+5=12, 80+12=92). Now 91 - 38. What looks good? (Pause, discuss Counting Up: 38->40 is 2, 40->90 is 50, 90->91 is 1. Total 2+50+1=53. Or Friendly Numbers: 91-40=51, add 2 back = 53). Last one: 42 + 19. (Pause, discuss Friendly Numbers: 42+20=62, subtract 1 = 61)."
Slide 10: You've Got This!
Content:
Remember the strategies:
Place Value (Break Apart)
Friendly Numbers (Adjust & Compensate)
Counting Up (Add to Subtract)
Practice makes fluent!
Questions?
