Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

  • At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to understand that counting whole numbers can be a method to find the sum or the difference.

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER

  • When counting on to add or subtract, take note of the following:
    • Recall counting whole numbers from 0 by counting by 1
    • Make use of your fingers to visually count by the numbers
    • Remember that the value added to the number is the number of times you count
    • Use a number line or dots to help the student count

THEORY

  • Counting on a specific number of times to a number identifies the number where we end counting.
  • For example, from 4, if we count on 3 times forward, we can count from 4 then 5, 6 and end at 7. Therefore, 4 + 3 can be solved by counting up 1 number higher three times.
  • Likewise, from 6, if we count on 2 times backward, we can count from 6 then 5, and end at 4. Therefore, 6 – 2 can be solved by counting down 1 number lower two times.
  • There are different techniques to count on.
  • Using your fingers
    • To do this technique, represent the first number through your fingers. Then, put your other fingers up when adding or put your current fingers down when subtracting.

  • Counting visually through dots or other illustrations
    • Count how many representative illustrations there can be after the initial number by counting visually.
    • 2 dots + 3 dots = 5 dots

  • Using a number line
    • Imagine the number hopping from the initial number to the next number until it ends with the right answer.
    • Count back 1 time from 5:
