Addition and Subtraction Word Problems Guided Lesson

Using visuals helps young mathematicians grasp concepts such as addition and subtraction. Here, they use just that to solve three scenarios. In the first scenario, three turtles leave a group of five, and learners determine how many are left. The image for this one is bit confusing and may require explanation. Next, they decide which of four diagrams shows 4+2=6. Finally, learners look at a set of pizza slices and calculate how many are left after Jeremy gives five away to friends. Encourage showing work through symbols, words, or other means.
