A lesson plan for grades K–2 Mathematics
In this lesson, the fifth of a six-part Illuminations unit titled “Macaroni Math,” students explore the relation of addition to subtraction. Students use problem-solving skills to find fact families, including those in which one addend is zero or in which the addends are alike.
