Use the table on the inside

Do choral counts by 25s. Begin at 0 and
count to 100. Point to the numbers on the
Number-Grid Poster as children count.
Discuss the pattern.

This is the first time children are introduced
to counts by 25s. Children will continue
to practice counts by 25s throughout
first grade. Counting by 25s to 1,000 is a
Grade 2 Goal.
1 Teaching the Lesson
䉴 Math Message Follow-Up
WHOLE-CLASS
ACTIVITY
(Math Journal 2, inside front cover)
Have children share solution strategies. They have not used the
Addition/Subtraction Facts Table to solve subtraction problems
before, so children may not have figured out how to do it. Some
children may have found the answers with the help of the table,
but are not able to describe what they did.
Use the transparency of the Addition/Subtraction Facts Table
(Math Masters, page 324), as you model 6 7 and 13 – 6.
Children follow along on the table on the inside front cover of
their journals.
●
To find the sum of 6 and 7, use a large piece of paper with an
arrow drawn in the corner. Cover the Facts Table so that the
6 row and the 7 column are visible at the bottom and right
edges of the paper. The arrow will point to the answer, 13.
●
To find the answer to 13 6, keep the sheet of paper in place.
Ask yourself: “6 plus what number is 13?” To find the number,
move along the 6 row to 13. Then go up the sheet to the
number in the top row, 7. To check that 7 is the correct answer,
use the table to find 6 plus 7 is 13.

Facts Table to Solve Subtraction
Problems
(Math Journal 2, p. 118)
Pose a few subtraction problems. Ask children to use the table to
find the answers, even if they know the facts. Have them check
each answer, using addition. They write answers on their slates.
Use the transparency of the table to model the solution to each
problem. When you think that children are comfortable using the
table to solve subtraction problems, have them complete journal
page 118.

Use the addition problems on journal page 118 to assess children’s ability to
use the Addition/Subtraction Facts Table to solve addition problems. Children
are making adequate progress if they are able to solve the addition problems
correctly. Some children may be able to use the table to solve the subtraction
problems, as well.
2. Write the fact family.

[Operations and Computation Goal 2]
NOTE Some children may find it difficult to use the Facts Table when solving
subtraction facts. Children may use other strategies to solve the problems and/or
to check their answers. However, since the goal of this lesson is to learn to use
the table, children should be encouraged to turn to it for answers they don’t know.
Keep in mind that this is the first exposure to using a Facts Table to solve
subtraction problems.

This Home Link reviews some of the work children have been doing in recent lessons. Note
that children are now working with subtraction facts as they are related to addition facts.
Encourage your child to include some subtraction “names” in the name-collection box in

To further explore the addition and subtraction facts table, have
children identify and describe patterns they see in the table.
Children complete Math Masters, page 176 by coloring patterns
with crayons and then finding one of their own patterns.
Encourage children to color lightly since some of the patterns
overlap. Have children describe their patterns verbally after
coloring them.

Children play Penny Plate to review how to count up to find the
total amount. Encourage children to state, “I can see 6 pennies.
Six plus what number is 12?” Then children count up from 7 to
12 to determine that there are 6 pennies under the plate.
There are patterns in the Addition/Subtraction Facts Table.
Follow the directions to color some patterns in the table.
Patterns colored in green will vary.
