This presentation is an excellent way to introduce the concept of real-life maths using basic addition and subtraction stories. Students will use their own counters to model each problem and learn the concepts of adding and subtraction using everyday problems.
Describes mathematical situations using everyday language, actions, materials and informal recordings
Uses objects, actions, technology and/or trial and error to explore mathematical problems
Uses concrete materials and/or pictorial representations to support conclusions
Combines, separates and compares collections of objects, describes using everyday language, and records using informal methods
Reasons about number relations to model addition and subtraction by combining and separating, and comparing collections
Forms equal groups by sharing and counting collections of objects
Represent practical situations involving addition, subtraction and quantification with physical and virtual materials and use counting or subitising strategies
Represent practical situations involving equal sharing and grouping with physical and virtual materials and use counting or subitising strategies
Represent practical situations to model addition and sharing
