Module 4: Place Value, Comparison, Addition and Subtraction to 40
Module 4 builds upon Module 2’s work with place value within 20, now focusing on the role of place value in the addition and subtraction of numbers to 40.
The module opens with Topic A, where students study, organize and manipulate numbers within 40. Having worked with creating a ten and some ones in Module 2, students now recognize multiple tens and ones. Students use fingers, linking cubes, dimes, and pennies to represent numbers to 40 in various ways—from all ones to tens and ones. They use a place value chart to organize units. The topic closes with the identification of 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, and 10 less as students learn to add or subtract like units
