Using Materials

Problem: Jo has 3 cakes and Marie has 8 cakes. How many cakes are there together?

Write 3 + 8 on the board. The students model 3 counters and 8 counters and work out the answer. Discuss the methods used. The students need to see why counting on from the 8 not the 3 is the most efficient method.

Examples. Word stories and recording for: 2 + 11, 3 + 9, 4 + 7....
