    Eureka Math:

    Module 4:  Addition and Subtraction Within 200 with Word Problems to 100

    Students will...…

    • add and subtract multiples of 10 
    • represent subtraction 
    • solve one- and two-step word problems within 100
    • use number bonds to break apart three-digit minuends

     

    Common Core Learning Standards:

    2.OA.A.1 - Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

    2.NBT.B.5 - Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

    2.NBT.B.6 - Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

    2.NBT.7 - Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.

    2.NBT.B.8 Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900.

    2.NBT.B.9 - Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.
