Lesson 3
Contemos hacia adelante o hacia atrás para restar
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to subtract within 1,000 using strategies that demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction, including counting on and counting back.
Lesson Narrative
In previous units, students used counting on or counting back to subtract within 100. In this lesson, they analyze different methods, including counting on and counting back, to subtract within 1,000. They make connections between sums of 10 and sums of 100, for example \(5 + 5 = 10\) and \(50 + 50 = 100\). Students use the relationship between addition and subtraction as they find unknown values in subtraction and addition equations.
