Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as
taking apart and taking from.
1. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings2, sounds (e.g.,
claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
2. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using
objects or drawings to represent the problem.

4. Addition
Addition occurs when you join two
numbers together. These numbers
are called addends.
4 + 2 = ?
Addends

5. You add the two addends together to get
a sum.
4 + 2 = 6
Sum

6. Let’s Try One!
5 + 3 = 8

7. Subtraction
Subtraction occurs when you take one
number away from another number.
5 - 2 = ?

8. When you subtract the numbers, you end
up with the difference.
5 - 2 = 3
Difference

9. Let’s Try One!
8 - 2 = 6

10. A Strategy
When adding or subtracting, you can
always draw pictures to help you
solve the problem.
+ =

11. Once you draw your picture, count each
circle to find your answer.
+ =
3 2 5

12. A Strategy
When adding or subtracting, you can
always draw pictures to help you
solve the problem.
- =

13. Let’s try a picture with subtraction!
- = ?

14. When you draw your picture, X out the
number you are subtracting from the first set
of circles.
- =
4 2 2

15. Let’s try on our
own!

16. 7 + 3 = ?
A. 11
B. 10
C. 8
The answer is B

17. 4 + 3 = ?
A. 7
B. 6
C. 9
The answer is A!

18. Let’s try on our
own!

19. 5 - 4 = ?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 1
The answer is C!

20. 7 - 4 = ?
A. 4
B. 6
C. 3
The answer is C!

21. Conclusion
Now you should be able to add
and subtract single digit
numbers by using pictures to
solve the problems given to
you. You should also
understand what an addend,
sum, and difference is.
