Beta

Addition and subtraction for multiple-digit numbers and other topics

Beta builds on the foundation in Alpha by applying students’ mastery of single-digit addition and subtraction to multiple-digit addition and subtraction. One of the stepping stones between these two levels is the concept of place value, which is an important milestone for truly grasping any multiple-digit operation.

Major Concepts and Skills Include:

Understanding place value and using it to add or subtract
Fluently adding and subtracting any combination of whole numbers
Solving for an unknown addend
Solving abstract and real-world problems involving addition and subtraction

Additional Concepts and Skills:

Telling and writing time by hours and minutes
Understanding, adding, and subtracting U.S. currency
Measuring and estimating length with inches, feet, centimeters, and meters
Comparing numbers and lengths
Expressing differences between numbers as inequalities
Finding the perimeter of any polygon
Representing and interpreting data in plots and graphs
