This video addresses Indiana Academic Standard for Math 1.CA.4: Solve real-world problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is within 20 (e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). (1.CA.4). Math education consultant Courtney Flessner helps educators envision the teaching and assessment of this standard in Grade 1.

First graders should spend a significant amount of time solving real-world problems. Problems presented to first graders should move beyond two addends so students see scenarios where three addends can be joined.

In first grade the emphasis is put on the operations of addition and subtraction. However, when considering interchangeable language (see the examples of doubling provided in the kindergarten explanation above), we begin to help children see that repeated addition can also be represented multiplicatively (e.g., 4 + 4 + 4 is the same as 3 groups of 4). In first grade the equations to represent the problem won’t include the multiplication sign; however, capitalizing on the language “groups of” is an important concept to emphasize in first grade. Assessment is done on an ongoing basis through observation, student work samples, conversation, and conferring.
