Strategies for Addition & Subtraction Unit

The Strategies for Addition and Subtraction Unit involves understanding the processes of addition and subtraction in order to solve problems and answer questions such as—

• If we know all of the parts, how can we find the whole?
   
• If we know the whole and one of the parts, how can we find the missing part?
   
• Given an equation, can you create an addition or subtraction situation to match it? How can you prove it matches the equation?
