Focus 2: Adding and Subtracting within 100In this focus, students build on the strategies they used in Grade 1 to begin to refining their addition strategies and develop strategies for subtraction within 100. These concepts are introduced at the beginning of the year because addition and subtraction is a major focus of Grade 2; therefore, students need time to practice to reach fluency by the end of the year.Standards2.OA.A.12.OA.B.22.OA.C.32.NBT.A.22.NBT.B.52.NBT.B.62.NBT.B.82.NBT.B.92.MD.C.8

6Adapted from Box 2-4 of Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood, National Research Council (2009, pp. 32, 33).1These take apart situations can be used to show all the decompositions of a given number. The associated equations, which have the total on the left of the equal sign, help children understand that the = sign does not always mean makes or results in but always does mean is the same number as.2Either addend can be unknown, so there are three variations of these problem situations. Both Addends Unknown is a productive extension of this basic situation, especially for small numbers less than or equal to 10.3For the Bigger Unknown or Smaller Unknown situations, one version directs the correct operation (the version using more for the bigger unknown and using less for the smaller unknown). The other versions are more difficult.
