Think Addition Strategy to do Subtraction mental math 2 Presentations & 8 Worksheets - Think-addition-to-do-subtraction is a mental math strategy that introduces students to the concept that there is an inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. You think of an addition fact in the same fact family. For example, you can solve 10 - 4 = ? by thinking 4 + ? = 10 and knowing that 4 + 6 = 10. I made these two PowerPoints to help my grade 3 class (ages 8 & 9) with the think-addition strategy. Many of my students this year are slow to recall number-bond facts, and therefore this has hopefully helped them to see the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. Could well be used in earlier grades. 1 PowerPoint of 25 sums with matching circles being added and taken away: mainly for subtraction sums between 10-20, but also has 4 slides for facts to 10. Slides can of course be hidden and order rearranged. 2nd PowerPoint of 20 larger sums with no circles: variety of examples within 100. Comes with seven subtraction think addition worksheets in PDF format of increasing difficulty, and 1 editable microsoft word worksheet.
