Lesson 2

Fluency Flip

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to fluently add and subtract within 20 to find unknown addends.

Lesson Narrative

In previous lessons, students assessed their fluency with sums and differences within 20. They shared different methods for finding the value of sums and differences mentally.

In this lesson, students find unknown addends within 20 and continue developing fluency with addition and subtraction within 20.

The cool-down should be completed before the lesson synthesis so that students can share their responses during the lesson synthesis.
