Fluent adding and subtracting within 100
PROCEDURALFluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction
Mastery Evidence
- Add two-digit numbers within 100 efficiently (e.g. 46 + 37 using place-value partitioning)
- Subtract two-digit numbers within 100 fluently (e.g. 83 − 25)
- Choose between strategies (decomposing, compensating, using known facts) based on the numbers involved
Assessment Prompt
“Can [child] reliably add or subtract two-digit numbers like '68 + 27' or '91 − 45', choosing the best strategy for each problem?”
