Skills For the Week
This week we will be using a variety of strategies to solve story problems. Students are required to solve, show their work, and write an equation for each story problem. Students are encouraged to use any strategy that will help them to solve the problem correctly. Some of these strategies include but are not limited to the following:
- number line
- open number line
- hundreds chart
- drawing
- crossing out
- adding on
- counting on or back
- tens and ones
They will need to be able to explain the strategy that they used.
For example 38+15=53
I used the hundreds chart. I started at 38 and counted on 15. I got the answer 53.

30+10=40
8+5=13
40+13 = 53
